Today in Pictures, Shoe Mill, the short version.

1. A right turn here takes us to the site of the old Infection Hospital.
2. The Larch are getting ready now the temperatures are getting better.
3. The old infection hospital site, no definite buildings remain, but this is the base of some long gone building on the hospital site.
4. Tumbling down hill, this is the wall that used to keep the railway separate.
5. Shoe Mill site, and the base of the factory chimney.
6. The whole area is littered with bits of walls, piles of long gone buildings, but it doesn't give you a feel of how the area used to be heavily populated with industry, and even a coal mine. I have looked for evidence of a shaft but nothing remains.
7. It's wet, so I must be doing it right.
8."Five Arches"
9. Moss at the sharp end of Macro.
10. Just to finish off, a wet bit.
