You are probably right AccyX as evidenced by this link there's been a lot of activity some legal and some not so legal around these coves for hundreds of years.

The flat iron looks completely different with Highams mill flattened

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, it does.....and when we were growing up there were never trees or bushes in there...just long grass.
We played in it often, it was a fort, a ship, a house,a swimming pool....it was anything our imaginations wanted it to be.
A safe area to play...We could be seen by our parents, they knew exactly where to look for us.

You did indeed walk in the footsteps of myself, however I did deviate after getting to the bridge, just opposite that life-raft on the footpath side there is a style built into the wall, I followed this wondering where the piggin heck I was, it came out eventually behind that orange structure. They appear to be putting a pipeline in. Incidentally as I was walking the path there was a large bird, eagle like in colour and flight with a wingspan roughly about the size of my arms outstretched, couldn't get a close up look as every time I got close it sort of dropped off the branch it was sat on and glided/flew away again.

Probably, but it was deep into the woods so it never got to a position to have a proper look

You've captured the best raccoon shots I've seen yet! Beautiful creatures
