Re: Coppice torn assunder?

Well I suppose it is a great road for the motorist. It was just a shock that's all. As for the trees Willow. 18 years ago they were all pretty small or I should say shrub sizes and looked to be mostly conifers. Even so it all looked pretty weird. Whilst I am here If anyone is interested in a most magnificent panoramic view (taken from somewhere. Perthaps halfway down the side of the Coppy. No trees in the way except at the very bottom) of Accy circa 2002/3 from Water st. to St. Johns and from peel Park school to Oswaldtwistle. Try and get hold of a back copy of "Steam Railway" May 23/June 19th, 2003. No 284. The centrefold(as big as 2 A4's) is totally breathtaking in its fine detail. The viaduct is there in all its glory with a steam train on it going to Burnley. Stretching from Whalley Rd back to the station. This picture is obviously copyright. and I can't post it. It's too big anyway. This is the best picture of Accy I have ever come across. If any of you manage to get hold of a back copy of this magazine, I promise you that you will not be disapointed. Believe me if you live in this area you can find your own house
