Today in Pictures, yesterday around Huncoat Pit, today around the woods to the rear of Wilson's Playing Field and toward the bottom of Bell Lanes.

1. This area when it was a pit was used to store the coal, it was off to the right, the train line followed roughly the footpath you see, and some of it appears to have a base of the fill used between the sleepers. Roughly where I am standing was a lever that diverted the trains onto a second line that went off to the left of where I am.
2. Pendle Hill, it dominates the area.
3. A quick visit to the teazel fields, used in the 19th century to clean, align and raise the nap on fabrics, especially wool. They were inserted into rotating teazel frames.
4. Looking down the site, top right is Whinney Hill.
5. Looking across the site from the once busy railway line, looking across the M65, to the left is dean clough, following it right is Whalley Nab, and in the mist you can just see Longridge Fell.
6. Now to the woods, this stream skirts the edge of the site, I have no idea if it has a name but must eventually feed into the River Hyndburn as that is its direction.
7. The priests walk, once paved to keep the clothes of the clergy clean from the mud as he went between his two churches. For the most part the flags have long since been purloined for other uses, just a small section remains as it passes Wilson's Playing Field.
8. 9. & 10 big brown Beech trees as they skirt the farmers fields off to the right.
