After leaving Stoodley I set of over the hill to Mankinholes.
No.1 The better road out of Stoodley. No.2 Things are improving now, I got up a gear. No.3 Round the bend and views of Mankinholes Chapel, I have an uncle buried there. No.4 Another look the village and an old mill, there is a mill Lodge there called Lee Dam where they have a new years day swim. No.5 Those horse troughs have been there since the days of pack horses, before the road the Todmorden was even thought of. They were to enable all the horses to drink at once after the big slog up the hill. No.6 One of the wealthy villagers had that lot erected. There's some brass in them hills. No.7 A last look down the valley before I set of home. No.8 The railway line leading up to Copy Pit from Todmorden. No.9 Just for Davemac, some ferny things (I think). No.10 Rocks and hillside just before Copy Pit rail bridge. I had been playing around with PL and ND8 filters on the camera lens and am not sure if I have got them just right, the photos seem a bit false somehow. Turtle. You say it is a magical place to grow up in. My Uncle left there on the 1st march 1948, the day after my mother died. He had just been demobbed and got married, went to live in Toronto where he taught engineering at a Military establishment, then moved to Kingston, near Eric. He bred Equestrian horses for years and has just celebrated his 92nd birthday. He still asks about Stoodley and I have sent him the latest batch of pictures. Each time he visits the family over here he always wants to go back to see the old house up Stoodley. |

Today in Pictures, an often walked area, apparently it is called Lower Barnes St. Wood and Clayton Forest Park, and there was a public consultation today about improvements to the walk.
1. The path over to Gt Harwood. 2. The River Hyndburn changes level. 3. The beach is very quiet today. 4. Signs of a previous industrial use. 5. The draw of wet socks it to strong to fight. 6. Something must have hung over the water. 7. The bridge in the first snap. 8. Looking back up the river. 9. A quick walk up the path , just over the border. 10. Back to the start point, the lowest part of Lower Barnes Street. |

Re: Today in pictures
I agree Dave, it's a part of Ribchester I have never seen. I may put it on my places to visit list.
Good quality photos as well. |

I really enjoyed the reflections in 4 and 8 - scenes fit for a watercolour painting! Well worth wet socks I'd say. |
