@TCVHumber @nymr @TCVYork @TCVhollybush @SkeltonGrange @TCVtweets It was good to renew our acquaintance with NYMR. This photo from 1981, (source our archives) with a group, I think, waiting to board a train at the end of the day. It is for the best that high viz jackets are more obvious and universal these days and safety zones wider.

@CuratorPat @LeedsTours @theleedslibrary I'm glad that connection worked out. The better side of social media

[TCV Development North @TCVNorth]

@Bradford_Live @HeritageFundNOR I think the steelwork came from Tyneside, stories of a great uncle coming down to oversee works

[TCV Development North @TCVNorth]

@RuthKettle1 @NewColBradford That's brilliant. Best wishes for next year.

[TCV Development North @TCVNorth]

Needing some serenity, the a walk along the canal in Kirkstall and then chill in the cafe @TCVhollybush 11 to 3 Weds to Friday. Lucky to have this as my journey to work.

[TCV Development North @TCVNorth]

It was good to welcome @MayorOfWY and her team to @TCVhollybush and to meet the hosts for the 8 hubs across West Yorkshire - which include several with links to TCV over the years. Cycle and walk safe all. @TCVtweets

[Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire @MayorOfWY]

Choosing walking, cycling, & wheeling as a way of getting around has so many benefits for both people & the planet.

Today, we've granted nearly £500,000 to local groups to help them support more people to take the greener travel option.

If you have a surplus of plants please get in touch with this group. The rabbits have invaded our allotment, so things a bit sparse at home!

[Leeds Irish Health and Homes @leedsirish]

We got rid of the weeds...

…now all we need is some plants!
