[QUOTE=Retlaw;1071823][QUOTE=davemac;1071821]Today in Pictures. A day when it was difficult to keep your powder dry, thought I would check out the mosaics that Cashman mentioned some time ago as I hadn't seen them.
roses.
3.4.5.6. The mosaics, a lot of detail when you study them. I don't know who, or why but a good effort.

Those mosaics were done by by local, schools for the display at the Haworth Art Gallery, that William Turner & I did for July 1st 2006, the 90th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, in which so many of our local Heroes fought and died that day, not just Accrington Pals, but dozens of local men in other regiments also fell on that day.

the quality of the mosaics is very good if it is done by local children, and I hope they don't get vandalised.

Platts had nowt do do with that body of water, we didn't even use any of that water when Bullough's had the big fire in the drawing office in Fountain St.

Now that you mention it I do vaguely remember it called Bulloughs Lodge, although it was at that time not easily walked around. The new path through gives access to everyone, and I suppose the relaunching of the lodge gave rise to the new name, the same happened with Scaitcliffe House, I remember visiting there when it was full of weaving looms.
