Re: Today in pictures

The two missing pics.
The cobbles on Plantation Road down past Arden Hall. Is there a longer or finer stretch of cobble sets remaining in the town?
Back to the Abbey (looks better outside than in)

You'll have the pikies going up Plantation Road nicking cobbles.

Re: Today in pictures

Today in Pictures, should have been a quick once around the wet bit, but I got distracted again.

1. Driving down to Foxhill Bank I was drawn to this street, I have photographed it before but the cobbles draw me back.
2. Straight to the wet bit.
3. This is the point I went off piste, the people that wore away the steps on their way to Foxhill Mill are long gone as is the Mill.
4. Foxhill Bank House, there is little that remains that gives any sense of its former glory, or the famous people that visited it.
5. This should have been a standard railway bridge, but it was beautified so that the mill owners that had to pass under it with their horse and carriage had something a bit posher than the norm, notice the terracotta columns and recesses whose use escapes people.
6. Mooching around the site that was once Foxhill House very little remains apart from piles of stones and the odd random wall that is more likely to be service buildings.
7. Back to the wet bit.
8. There doesnt appear to be the numbers of water birds that I observed on other visits.
9. This is the most visited part of the nature reserve, with a steady stream of mums and dads with kids and a bag of bread bits.
10. The second reservoir, both were used to feed the mill, this section of the reserve is not as easily accessed as the other. There is in the distance a metal mound that was installed to entice Kingfishers to nest, I have never seen one here so don't know if it worked.

Nay Frank too much effort involved in lifting them, the members of the err "travelling community" look for easier pickings.
Not that I am suggesting the men in white vans and transit pick-ups running on red diesel are all "tea leafs"
I alway chuckle when I drive past the Whinny Hill site with this red post box at the entrance, even if it is "retro" as I suspect, it is still cast iron and if it was anywhere else in the borough it would be long gone and remelted and cast agin' as a manhole cover to replace those that mysteriously disappear in the night.
(A bit like some of my posts on here)

Re: Today in pictures

Today in Pictures, a walk on the slopes between Musbury Heights and Calf Hey Reservoir.

1. A long forgotten graveyard, last internments were in the late 1800's and no evidence of anyone caring for the site.
2. Finally making the slopes, vanishing evidence that a road was once here dotted with buildings, now just piles of stones covered in grass and moss.
3. One of the many streams that percolate their way down to the reservoir.
4. Another of those many streams heading for the reservoir, how am I going to get down there from up this tree.
5. BANG.
6. Yet another wet bit heading down hill, some wall that's use is now history.
7. Peppered around are the posts that say this was an entrance to some hamlet or other.
8. Same stream as in 6 but a bit further down stream.
9. This is the point the stream enters the channels that filter the water either into the reservoir or past it if there is enough water in the res.
10. Now up the other side and past the preserved foundations of farming and weaving communities.
