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.
1. Hameldon Hill in the distance. 2. A walk around the rose garden first, the weather has not helped the 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. 7.Hameldon Hill again. 8. Last look at the "Haworth" time to head home as it is about to precipitate. |

[QUOTE] 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. |

When it was Bulloughs Lodge, we lived on the factory bottom opposite Higham's loading bay. My uncle was boilerman at Giron Frere's the velvet factory and you could get to the lodge through their gates.

I had a ride up to Stoodley near Mankinholes nr Todmorden today.
All the photos are from where I lived as a child. No. 1 The little lane we had to walk up from the Springside bus stop, over half a mile, it is still just about passable with a car today but I came in from the other side. NO.2 Coming down to Stoodley from Mankinholes side, really the best way in anything but a 4X4 car. No. 3 Part of my playground. No. 4 Stoodley pike. No. 5 There is a well in that building, I used to play cowboys and indians around it with the farmers son,the only other child up there. No.6 Inside the walls of the well. No.7 The better way out of Stoodley, where I took the big Pike photo from. No.8 Views across to Cross Stone Church from the path to my old house. No.9 Views slightly right of No. 8, that's about two miles away. No. 10 Our back windows, there is only one more house after it and then it's a wall and a drop down to the old road we had to walk up. It was really good wandering about the old place. There are still descendants of one family who lived there. There are only about five families in the area and I met one chap there and after talking for a while it turned out he worked for my brother and had heard him mention me. Small world. |

I thought No.1 was a wasp, so didn`t want to get too close, is it really a bee? |
