Illuminated text

Here are some images to illuminate 'Thunder, Perfect Mind'

They are a bit jumbled.

The first is of the marshland.

The second of the new bridge built where the railway bridge once was.

Then maps - from 1920, showing
railway.

From 1797, showing canal.

And from 1750 showing neither.

Then there is one of the soot stains under the bridge where I sheltered from the thunderstorm.

Finally the thunderstorm itself as it rolled in.
