1. Looking across to Pendle Hill with snow on the top.
2. My old office.
3. The new bandstand.
Was a lovely place to work Dave -you were very lucky!

Not sure about the new bandstand - compare to the 2 photos I've attached -one is a colour postcard of the bandstand as it was in about 1904 and the other shows people at a concert there -Kingston Mill band, June 24th 1899!
