Last time i was in Accy I saw a lot of rows of houses that had been sand-blasted back to their original colour and they looked great. In my kitchen at home i have a pin board full of postcards and photos featuring my favourite Lakeland fells, Pendle Hill and a Lowry painting among others -he captured something of the feeling of the North with the factories, chimneys and houses. I always think that the view across Accy from the Coppice would have made a great subject for him as it has everything in it.:) |

Part 1. Today in Picture, Started off moist and ended with getting a sweat on. As today is "The Big Shop" it was a quick walk around the park.
1. Off down the road to the canal. 2. Down the slippery cobbles onto the canal. 3. There must have been a storm out to sea, where did those islands come from? 4. Off the canal and down the road. 5. By the square. 6. Down to the park. 7. The park looms, I'm getting giddy, the sun is out. 8. The way is pointed out. 9. A seat in the shade. 10. The new construction is now open. |

I saw some teenage boys breaking off bit of the banking on the canal the other day Dave.
They were on the Con club side of the banking...up by the Sefton park development. I wanted to peyl(peel) their backsides....alas, it is no longer allowed. |

I have walked down that side myself on the return journey, if you come off at the Altham bridge, go over the bridge, and just past the bridge on the Sefton side there are some steps down. makes a change to see the canal from the other side |

Part 1. Today in Pictures, "Ossy" the hidden journey,Large portfolio on this one, and some of the pictures may not be known to "Ossiers", so lets start the journey together and see.
1. The journey starts at the boundary with Church. 2. Foxhill Bank awaits. 3. And here it is. 4. Dappled shade. 5. Checked underneath, and there are none. 6. Bounced of the reserve, but straight back on. 7. Don't know the name of this water, Tinker Brook perhaps? 8. Out the top end, and across the field. 9. Down a path opposite and down the hill, still don't know its name! 10. The stone of Parkin, like the stone of scone, but if you lick it, it tastes of liquorish. |

Part 2. Today in Pictures, werzatgo.
11. Stood on the playing field. 12. I waited, but they didn't drop it. 13. Quick view of the main road. 14. Same view, down the road a bit. 15. Heading back to the reserve. 16. Row of terraced, out of the way. 17. View of the water from another angle to the usual one. 18. Werzatgo? 19. Is that a secret garden? 20. Just being nosey. |
Re: Today in pictures
Yes, I am going to try that walk one day soon...when I haven't got the tinlids with me.
I'm sure it must make everything look a bit different ...seeing the world from the other side of the canal. Oh, and the boys....they must have been teens and there was only one out of the four that was my size! What do they feed boys on, that makes them grow like gangly weeds. (maybe they had conny muck in their shoes) |

Before I post Today in Pictures, I post a couple of photos that I took just as I set off, I have no explanation, but I did cross the road and looked over the bridge expecting a drowned clown, possibly.
Is it me, or is this a bit weird, and who sells this type of shoe ? |
Re: Today in pictures
A better question would be 'who wears this kind of shoe?'

Part 1. Today in Pictures, looking for a way to photograph the route I do every day, I thought, why not take photos of where you have been. So to this end I walked backwards all the way around, then it occurred to me if I did the walk in the opposite direction, I didn't have to walk backwards, I could go forwards. Up there for thinking, down there for dancing.
1. Down the road towards the canal. 2. On the canal. 3. Off at Hygiene. 4. On "thash pad" 5. Down through the industrial estate. 6. Towards the main road. 7. Left turn up the road. Note, the cyclist is pursued by the caped crusader on a bike. 8. Up the brew. 9. Over the canal and home. Part 2 is the "Down town" experience. |

Today in Pictures was aborted due to the rain appearing to be horizontal, and straight towards me, however with a stiff upper lip, and a very wet bottom one, I managed a few photos before I threw the towel in.
1. Huncoat stocks. 2. Stocks as we walk away. 3. Heading towards the Memorial on the hill top. 4. A view to the right over the rooftops 5. A bit further down. 6. Its a good view from here. 7. Then the weather closes in. 8. Down the field and a right turn, Hapton in the distance. 9. Where the road meets the stream. 10. With a bridge for pedestrians. With that, the thought of a brew and a chorley cake took over. I will however do this walk again when the sun shines |

Is that cross a war memorial? I don't know Huncoat at all. Just looked at the OS map and I see there is a Castle (rems of) marked near the motorway junction 8. Does anyone know anything about that?

Hapton Castle became uninhabited and fell into decay. All that remains now is a low wall 2 ft high between two trees in Castle Clough and an Elizabethan coin which was found on the site. Another site has this Tourist guide to Hapton (From Lancashire Telegraph) Castle Clough Gorge signed just off the Accrington Road was carved out as the ice ages melted some 10,000 years ago and glaciers ground out a valley. This produced impressive rock formations which can be explored overlooking a nature trail. http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com..._choices_i.png http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com...choices_en.png http://oas.newsquestdigital.co.uk/5/...3594%7C3419%7C This is a real joy at bluebell time, but of interest all through the year. Nearby are a few bits of masonry, all that remains of Hapton Castle. This was not so much a castle as a fortified manor house built in 1242. |

I have just read the castle clough information, now quiet by chance I was walking through the very clough this afternoon. As I didn't realise I was in the right area I never looked for any wall.
I will have to return to this location. This was the walk I attempted yesterday, but ended up with wet underpants, serves me right for putting them on my head. |

Part 1. Today in Pictures, the return.
1. This is where I left off yesterday. 2. Down the dip to the ford. 3. Over the bridge. 4. Into Castle Clough. 5. The footpath crosses this water several times, so I had wet socks today. 6. More stream. 7. Hang on, going to put down my camera and climb that! 8. Stand by, putting the camera down again! 9. Wait a minute, just got to put the camera down again, I'm getting to old for this. |

I like to see them both.......It is good when I am away with Ma. We are both early risers......we rise, look out and survey the scene...if there is a spectacular sunrise then I capture it, the I might just go back to bed with the curtains open(obviously, it depends on whether we are overlooked and whether Ma has herself dignified - covered up) and watch as the sunrise develops.

Jen, is there something in the sky over Rising Bridge that turns the sunset yellow? It was the same in your last lot of pics - and in the pics up at the reservoir the grass was yellow in some shots. Have you got a special filter on your camera?

If I have something like a TV or video or DVD remote control, I like to know what everything does but when I'm out and about it's keep it simple. Same with washers etc, hate anything with lots of knobs and programmes. Years ago when we moved house once we left behind our dishwasher, fridge and freezer and microwave oven. For the new place we went to an electrical store and asked the salesman for the plainest white boxes they could find. And my phone cost £15 from Morrisons. It's in black and white and it doesn't do anything but make and receive calls. |

Any way, back on topic, Today In Pictures was a more relaxed walk after yesterdays nearly put my lamps out.
Its a few week since I did this walk and the plant growth surprised. 1. Along the canal to Church, past the swing bridge. 2. What was that? 3. The local Goosery. 4. Thats the lane I go down from Church Kirk Bridge. 5. Nature strives to be everywhere. 6. Further down the lane, towards Hyndburn Brook. 7. This is the paintball fight area, notice the cameras position, once again I have wet socks for the cause. 8. By a babbling brook. 9. That house is spying on me. 10. Across the road and through Clayton Fields. A long but casual perambulation |

Not necessarily MY day, but what happened today in my garden... and probably tomorrow and the day after as well.
We have been having problems with the drains and decided to have them replaced in plastic, which involved a workman digging up the path and a lot of spoil to shift... This is the third excavation and repair he's done in different parts of the garden, hopefully the last. It's also one one of the reasons why my garden has been left to its own devices of late. 1 The excavation 2 From the other end 3 Garden gnome inspecting the work 4 Tomorrow this will all be plastic 5 The new pipes waiting to go in 6 Finished for the day |

Part 1. Today in Pictures, a parallel walk.
1. Hurst Green, the Alms Houses. 2. The Cemetery, Stonyhurst College. 3. It has big doors and a bell rope, mausoleum possibly. 4. Stonyhurst College. 5. This statue is at the top of the drive looking down to the college, is that a bit arty or what/. 6. Heading back to Hurst Green, but a right turn just before. 7. Lovely start to the footpath. 8. Rock pools, it must have taken weeks for the water to wear a path through the stone. 9. More water wear. 10. There used to be a quarry here. |

Today was lovely and we had some white fluffy clouds which I didn't manage to photograph. However among the chaos in the garden, nature thrives.
