1. Along the canal, you can see the gasometer, upper centre, in Gt. Harwood.
2. The destination, what was once a workers community, my guess would be weavers before the industry was centralised.
3. Just around the bend is a small boatyard, but we are going sharp right.
4. Little remains after progress swept them into history.
5. If you listen carefully you can hear the sound of clogs on floorboards.
6. This region is peppered with these small hamlets that are disintegrating.
7. Today we will go through the square window.
8. Time is almost up.
9. Last shot of these buildings.
10. I bet once someone would have been very house-proud here.
You can't beat the autumn colours - it's my favourite season for this reason. I always wonder about the people who used to live in these isolated country buildings - it must have been a hard life. I live well out in the country and love it but it would be hard without a car!
