Re: Today in pictures

HELP I am being held prisoner, and cant play out until the conservatory has been washed down, the shelving has been sorted and the junk room is de-junked, however I did manage an outing on Saturday to Shoe Mill, so here are the results for then. (I did manage an hour out today but that will have to be another days postings).

Number three is the base of a tall chimney that used to stand here, it was a very busy area in its time. The area was covered in factories and the bits of walls that remain around the area only give a glimpse of the past, just over that bridge to the right was the opening to the mine shaft that was also here, not a proper mine with pit head gear, it was a hole in the ground with ladders down to the bottom of the shaft, but never the less men did hack away underground to bring coal to the surface.
Number one is also the location of the signal box that was here, you can see a brick wall off to the right, I am guessing this was the rear wall to the building.
The attached pictures shows the chimney in question and the signal box, also what was called five arches.

aah....the five Arches. I have spent many a long hour playing in that area.....getting wet, getting muddy, tearing clothes(and later getting a slap for being irresponsible - it didn't matter if we ripped skin...it would mend itself, but clothes needed a needle and thread)....so I remember this place fondly.
I should visit again to see if I can still recognise the place.

The feeling I got after not visiting for years was the size of it, with the demolition of the bridge, at least to me, it had become very small.
If you do visit there is a clean walk from your mothers, past the "old lodges" left over the bridge and then left up Woodnook Vale which is the old railway line.

Yes Dave, I have contemplated taking that clean route many a time, but there has always been something crop up to stop me...but one day...one day!

I think it must be something about the size of things being relative to our own size when we were children.
I remember thinking that Bullough park was huge, but going back now it seems tiny......strangely though the hill to get to it seems to be getting steeper...has someone got it on a ratchet?

Re: Today in pictures

A varied selection from the last week. I had to dash across to Tenerife last Wednesday, going through Madrid airport on the way, as my Dad had a very serious fall. He is luckily on the mend now and I did remember to pack my camera.
