[Gremlin]

Nice action photos shillelagh, I missed the re enactment on Sunday PM, my train got into Rawtenstall just after they had cleaned the track up and the soldiers disbanded.

I really had a good day out at Bury, Ramsbottom and back to Rawtenstall where my car was parked.
The entertainment on the platforms at Bury and Rawtenstall with people joining in the songs was really good. As my train pulled out they all waved and sang "Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye".

Better a day "trip" than the other kind Great photos from both you and Gremlin -lovely weather too for what looks like a really interesting event.

1. Start point, the signal box at Huncoat.
2. A left turn takes you into the Colliery site.
3. Some fragments of buildings remain, but not enough to say what they were.
4. Taking a right turn over a style, it opens up to huge area.
5. Wild flowers abound.
6. Not many Buttercups though.
7. Grass seed heads, I have no idea what variety.
8. Mayflowers.
9. I found a wooded stream.
10. A hidden gem, that requires a return visit.

I have used my allocation for today, so as I will be busy for the next two days will post the remainder then, the stream and beyond. (check the panoramic thread for a few more)

Lovely selection of photos Dave - apparently the signal box may soon be being demolished so those photos may be some of the last ones of it! I love the delicate Mayflowers and that banking full of bluebells really is a hidden gem - beautiful!

Just a few photos of yesterday evening's sunset -lovely colours.

I like the way the solar panels on the barn roof turned red too, reflecting the sky in the last pic.

A few more from Sundays day out on the East Lancs Railway.

Number 1, Friends I made on the train.
Number 7, Remember the stockings with seams ladies? Permission granted for the photo.

Yesterday in Pictures, completing my mooch through the pit.

1. More teasels than you can shake a teasel at.
2.The green bits go on forever.
3. There always has to be wet bit somewhere.
4. Wild Garlic.
5. Bluebells and wet bits.
6. Looking back down the stream.
7. I don't know anything about this brick bit.
8. Mountain ash flowers.
9. Apple blossom.
10.The old entrance to the pit.


No output from me tomorrow, so can the last one out turn the light off.

The photo of the stockings is great!
I would go back to those days just to be able to wear the hats...

Today in Pictures, nothing special today as its BIG SHOP day. So its Cutwood Park under heavy cloud.

Lovely pics -especially n.1 with the bluebells Dave- didn't venture out today as I have rotten earache!!

Got my bike back today and rode over to the other side of Castelverde to Regione Fornace where there are some beautiful old mill houses. There's a view to Cremona (about 2.5km as the crow flies) where the tall tower you can see is right in the center of town. All the other shots show the mill house area. They have an interesting collection of old agricultural machinery, a restored gun from WW2 and one of the old mill wheels in the gardens of the mill. My son has been inside as his friend's girlfriend lives there -he told me the old millstones are inside the house as a feature.

the official unveiling of this is next Wednesday .... but I got a sneak preview this morning .... by the way it does run for about a minute ...

Glad you are back to fitness, interesting selection of guns, water wheels and other stuff. The architecture is very photogenic.
