But for those seeking a taste of rural England and a gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, it holds a certain charm.</span></h2><p data-sourcepos="5:1-5:322" style="text-align: center;">Located on the scenic Bentham Line, which winds its way between Leeds and Morecambe via Skipton, Long Preston offers a peaceful escape. The original station buildings are long gone, replaced by basic shelters on each platform. But don't be fooled by its simplicity; there's a certain romance in its lack of modern frills.</p><p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:285" style="text-align: center;">For train enthusiasts, Long Preston holds particular significance. It's the last station before the Bentham Line and the Settle-Carlisle Line diverge. The Settle-Carlisle is known for its breathtaking views and challenging engineering feats, making it a favourite among railway fans.</p><p data-sourcepos="9:1-9:183" style="text-align: center;">While the station itself is unstaffed, a handy ticket machine was installed in 2019, allowing for convenient ticket purchases. There's also a small car park for those arriving by car.</p><p data-sourcepos="13:1-13:243" style="text-align: center;">Long Preston's beauty lies in its surroundings. The village itself is a quintessential Yorkshire Dales gem, with old stone houses and traditional pubs. Stepping off the train, you're instantly transported into a world of peace and tranquility.</p><p data-sourcepos="15:1-15:291" style="text-align: center;">For those seeking adventure, the Yorkshire Dales National Park beckons. With its rolling hills, dramatic waterfalls, and charming villages, it's a walker's paradise. Buses depart regularly from the station for the nearby towns of Settle and Skipton, offering further options for exploration.</p><p data-sourcepos="19:1-19:237" style="text-align: center;">Long Preston station sees a modest number of trains each day, with services running to Leeds, Morecambe, and Carlisle. To ensure a smooth journey, it's wise to check timetables in advance, especially if you're connecting to other routes.</p><p data-sourcepos="21:1-21:235" style="text-align: center;">While the station may lack extensive facilities, its basic amenities and idyllic location make it a worthwhile stop. If you're looking for a taste of rural England and a gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, Long Preston Station awaits.</p><p data-sourcepos="21:1-21:235" style="text-align: center;">The pictures below were taken with a Nikon d3300 on the 19th August 2022.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This graceful, single-arched structure, built in 1619, is more than just a passage over the River Esk; it's a testament to enduring love and the determination of a man named Thomas Ferris.</p><p data-sourcepos="5:1-5:320" style="text-align: center;">Legend has it that Ferris, the son of a humble farmer, fell head over heels for Agnes Richardson, the daughter of a wealthy squire from across the river. When Ferris sought her hand in marriage, he was scorned by Agnes' father and deemed a mere "beggar." Undeterred, Ferris vowed to make his fortune and prove his worth.</p><p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:386" style="text-align: center;">He set sail for the Caribbean, where he amassed wealth. Upon his return, his heart still belonged to Agnes. But fate seemed to have other plans. A raging flood made the river impassable, preventing him from reaching his love. Filled with despair but resolute, Ferris made a promise: he would build a bridge at that very spot so no one would ever be separated by the Esk's waters again.</p><p data-sourcepos="9:1-9:295" style="text-align: center;">And so Beggar's Bridge came to be. Today, it stands as a symbol of unwavering love and perseverance. The bridge itself is a beauty to behold, a single elegant arch constructed from time-worn stone. It's a Grade II* listed structure, recognised for its historical and architectural significance.</p><p data-sourcepos="11:1-11:322" style="text-align: center;">Beggar's Bridge is a popular stop for visitors to Glaisdale. Whether you're a history buff, a hopeless romantic, or simply an admirer of beautiful architecture, this bridge has something to offer. Take a moment to stand on its sturdy stones and imagine the stories it whispers of love, loss, and the enduring human spirit.</p><p data-sourcepos="13:1-13:45" style="text-align: center;">Here are some additional tips for your visit:</p><ul data-sourcepos="15:1-19:0"><li data-sourcepos="15:1-15:91" style="text-align: center;"><strong>Location:</strong> Beggar's Bridge is situated on the eastern outskirts of Glaisdale village.</li><li data-sourcepos="16:1-16:142" style="text-align: center;"><strong>Accessibility:</strong> While the bridge itself is easily accessible, the terrain around the river might be uneven. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes.</li><li data-sourcepos="17:1-17:157" style="text-align: center;"><strong>Combine your visit:</strong> The bridge lies close to the Coast to Coast path, a popular hiking route.

This 3.75-mile waterway, adorned with nine wide locks, boasts a rich history dating back to the 18th century.</p><p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:410" style="text-align: center;">Originally built to serve the thriving textile industry, the canal played a crucial role in transporting coal and finished goods. Nicknamed the "Broad Canal" to distinguish it from its narrower counterpart, the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, it witnessed the industrial revolution unfold along its banks. Today, the canal stands as a testament to the region's industrial heritage, offering a glimpse into the past.</p><p data-sourcepos="11:1-11:268" style="text-align: center;">While its industrial days may be behind it, the Huddersfield Broad Canal has found a new purpose as a haven for leisure activities. Whether you're a keen boater, a cyclist seeking a scenic route, or simply someone looking for a peaceful walk, the canal caters to all.</p><p data-sourcepos="15:1-15:327" style="text-align: center;">For boaters, the canal offers a tranquil journey, connecting the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Cooper Bridge with the Huddersfield Narrow Canal near Aspley Basin. For those who prefer dry land, the towpath alongside the canal offers a scenic walking or cycling path. The gentle incline makes it suitable for all fitness levels, allowing you to soak in the picturesque surroundings at your own pace.</p><p data-sourcepos="25:1-25:381" style="text-align: center;">The Huddersfield Broad Canal is a reminder of the transformative power of historical waterways. From its industrial roots to its current role as a leisure destination, the canal continues to offer a unique and enriching experience for visitors and locals alike. So, next time you're in West Yorkshire, take a step back in time and explore the charm of the Huddersfield Broad Canal.</p><p data-sourcepos="25:1-25:381" style="text-align: center;">The pictures shown below were taken while walking the canal on the 27th May 2023, the first set featured were taken on the stretch between the Narrow Canal at Wakefield Road Bridge to the historic Turnbridge.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The church was built in the memory of John Fielden, a local mill owner, social reformer, and member of parliament for Oldham between 1832 and 1847. Fielden was also a prominent member of the local unitarian movement. Building work began in 1865, paid for by his three sons, Joshua, John, and Samuel, on land the Fielden family donated; the budget was not limited by them, with the final bill over £35,000 (over £3.5 million at 2020 rates). The work was completed in 1869, with the church opening in April with a sermon preached by William Gaskell to a congregation of over 800 people.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The church continued to grow until the early part of the 20th century, when, like most other religions in the UK, congregations started to decline. As numbers decreased, it became increasingly difficult to fund the upkeep of the building, and by 1987, the decision was taken to close the main church building and move services to the nearby lodge at the entrance to the church grounds. These services continued until 1992, when the church and grounds were closed completely.</p><p style="text-align: center;">After the complete closure, the church decayed and was subject to large amounts of vandalism. In 1994, the Historic Chapels Trust took over the church, and over the next few years, they spent over £1 million on repairs.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The church was granted Grade I listed status on the 22nd November 1966, with the lodge at the entrance gaining Grade II listed status on the 22nd February 1984.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The pictures were taken with a Nikon d3300 on the 11th July 2020. They can be seen below or on Clickasnap un-watermarked and higher resolution.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shop.photo4me.com/1310832/acrylic?o=0&e=0&s=0&share=true" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbqQW9eo213wJQynJ1YqzGIEvQyTUfck0fif0R_mDnTlhO9j4V2xbhNDZ72Ud11MhrWOIyAr4-3d9E0gBpSuUni38meVrJcGefNRbWp2oOIkk7h4TAurOrWyHptwkYKMSuacQQQuuSDC8IPjnreKBK2u7NjerSRStK1HmKuV5UWzQA33KeiEmxoMSah7gq/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0163%20The%20Guitarist,%20Golden%20Lion%20and%20a%20Church%20Spire,%20Todmorden%206000%20x%204000%20x%20350.jpg" width="640" /></a>This picture taken from the Rochdale Canal, looking across the Golden Lion Pub, shows the Churches Spire.

This charming spot offers a peaceful escape for nature lovers and history buffs alike, combining stunning scenery with intriguing remnants of the past.</p><p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:69" style="text-align: center;">As you approach the clough, the ancient packhorse bridge, believed to date back to the 16th or 17th century, stands proudly, a silent witness to centuries of travellers and goods traversing the moors. Imagine weary traders leading laden horses across its weathered stones, carrying essential supplies between villages and markets. The historic bridge was replaced when the Oldham Turnpike was constructed a few metres to the north, allowing for larger goods traffic to cross between Lancashire and Yorkshire.</p><p data-sourcepos="11:1-11:144" style="text-align: center;">The clough itself unfolds like a verdant secret garden. A babbling brook meanders through moss-covered stones, whispering tales of a bygone era. Lush greenery carpets the banks, offering a vibrant contrast to the heather-dominated moors above. Sunbeams dance through the leaves, creating a magical, dappled light on the forest floor.</p><p style="text-align: center;">
</p><p data-sourcepos="19:1-19:326" style="text-align: center;">Your exploration doesn't have to end here. Rishworth Moor itself beckons with further adventures.

This seemingly unassuming structure, crafted from the warm embrace of local sandstone, is more than just a passage over the River Calder. It's a bridge woven with myth, whispered secrets, and the echoes of a bygone era.</p><p data-sourcepos="5:1-5:12" style="text-align: center;">As you stand upon its weathered stones, the gentle gurgle of the water below serenades you, transporting you back in time. Legend has it that the bridge was built by the devil himself, enticed by a wager with a local builder. The deal? The bridge's completion within a night was in exchange for the builder's soul. But as the rooster crowed, signalling the dawn, the bridge remained unfinished, just one stone short. The devil, cheated of his prize, vanished in a puff of brimstone, leaving behind the incomplete bridge as a testament to his trickery.</p><p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:255" style="text-align: center;">While the truth behind the bridge's construction is likely less fantastical, the myth adds a touch of magic to its history. It's a reminder that even the most ordinary structures can hold extraordinary stories, waiting to be unraveled by the curious mind.</p><p>
</p><p data-sourcepos="9:1-9:332" style="text-align: center;">But Hawksclough Bridge is more than just a relic of the past. It's a vibrant part of the Mytholmroyd community. Children clamber along its edges. Artists capture its rustic beauty in their paintings, and photographers find endless inspiration in its weathered nooks and crannies.</p><p data-sourcepos="9:1-9:332" style="text-align: center;">Below are a set of pictures taken at the bridge with a Nikon d3300 in July 2024.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

January 2024<div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"><p data-sourcepos="3:1-3:314">As you approach Todmorden, nestled amidst the Pennine Hills, a majestic sight unfolds: the imposing frontage of the town hall. More than just a grand building, it's a symbol of civic pride, rich history, and a vibrant present.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:294">The frontage, spanning an impressive 53 feet, is a visual delight. Constructed in the Italianate style, it boasts a symmetrical design with towering columns, arched windows, and intricate stonework. The town hall opened on the 3rd April 1875, at a cost of £54,000. The original plans for the hall were conceived a couple of decades earlier, when architect James Green was charged with building a town hall for the town of Todmorden. Legal and financial problems saw this work grind to a halt by the mid-1860s. The Fielden family, a local owner of many of the town's cotton mills, purchased the site and took financial responsibility for completing the hall. </p>
<p data-sourcepos="9:1-9:306">Look closer at the frontage, and you'll discover the symbolic language whispered in the stone. The pediment features two allegorical figures, representing Lancashire and Yorkshire, united by industry and prosperity. The friezes below depict scenes of cotton spinning and engineering, reflecting the town's heritage. The hall was built atop Walsden Water, the historic boundary of Lancashire and Yorkshire, to unite the town populace. </p>

Every scratch, every detail, whispers untold stories of the people who have walked these steps and made Todmorden what it is today.</p><p></p><p data-sourcepos="13:1-13:413">The pictures below were taken on the 6th January 2024 with a Nikon d3300, they can also be seen on Clickasnap by clicking any of them(opens in another window).</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HN8D2E3N7Y5DMTR1SEXV70AC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUsBZO-EUxexKL_yausFitSzcU3g42dVuaYfQ_6M_xxoNdF4P-IM0Ffj2qGFPozhoO3ct-6HMuyDDM8cZ1HQ_qaJ5iCl5wn0UXfWzphYAWgjzXgYmFQUeCgq2XnDXmjjsoyBWD0kURuGUm14m4uNJcjMbveSQ7-96zlrxgJOAi9gWE20qaFuRFe-wDiQDe/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0009%20Todmorden%20Town%20Hall%206000%20x%204000%20x%20350.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HN8D2WBGEDPTQA2WZCB6CS3C" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8M5RmEDd4vWZy6AqSjmqbYjKW79sgLoTMkO2pBH38y_I0qDtIWVhmZZox8t3F6OosLbQQiXTSfpLrRKB8QH-rPqXN27LO_s9q3cOFoFYrEnbWjlmf0ROYR624xddMbt2oVBBXh0zPZAD2lxXmBkrHvQ5L1w0X7LZ_i5xcI-qZ7gQsYQsmirfDxg5YRcHL/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0009%20Todmorden%20Town%20Hall%20BW%206000%20x%204000%20x%20350.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The pictures can also be purchased from Photo4me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for looking, please take a moment to share and follow me on social media, you can also check out my stores on Zazzle and Photo4me via the links below.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All the pictures remain the copyright of Colin Green.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.co.uk/store/calderdale_unframed/products" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2666" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHhMBR1EOB9lmLSpsMPpG6kjDZekcS0x4Rw6q9b1pizUqvF-u2MlFNzPmb1lLAWaBdAW38a2UtLypT_M49aVWIImHGVImeoHJQ4Jo0zsKRQOdSBprE7i6JgS4pakWYA9ZY-YeM1JIyxpAgSVi8AZY6Pft16nbHRzsFoZPY8AwetH2r0ZmGrbzQNjJ6oqpC/s320/Calderdale%20unframed%20blog.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><a href="https://www.photo4me.com/profile/20361/all/canvas-prints?sortby=popular&filterby=all&shape=all" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2667" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCA0uzh0wnKmXtgPAqYSjVQgjCTzDC-xACHjWymDqtAI2M78dAScCQo7o0eal4XWEAa1E_GK5t8EOl7tLFLFCGrx2o8IRvRvQFTekSNlxCa5GEh_aWGRQ-n87ZleuwTdbhy_VjQxfnEDHKEXfZbuLOFgigdF2QVkmNlB9hkAqhGtet0rdRLLpxjebWZRLI/s320/Photo%204%20me%20blog.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.zazzle.co.uk/store/colins_picture_this/products" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2667" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG7-FeIZs72gLMT0qWJRNQPViRXtfVqs98JrgOAwFqSBidI4SUsRo5Ncl58u7apc6anBV02KCX3djIMB1rqoxD_pwQR3zBvaAKdColV8HEqwV1gyp8fO47dOiVmTy09ymJc7AeydXxKyPIgWBksuOSjn_cGV0U_MKBx2PJErpmxr98fJR69OjeF_JJ5v8u/s320/colins%20picture%20this%20blog%20.jpg" width="213" /></a></div></div></div>cgphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12597029142884611365noreply@blogger.comBridge St, Todmorden OL14 5AA, UK53.713777099999987 -2.097475725.403543263821142 -37.2537257 82.024010936178826 33.0587743tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2939809686434583173.post-13608390175525141912024-01-28T12:52:00.001+00:002024-02-02T20:26:50.575+00:00Stoodley Pike November 2016<div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"><p data-sourcepos="3:1-3:324">Towering over the Calder Valley, Stoodley Pike is more than just a hill overlooking the town of Todmorden, West Yorkshire; it's a monument; it's a beacon, a challenge, and a gateway to breathtaking panoramas. I embarked on my own Stoodley Pike adventure, and let me tell you, it was an experience in stunning vistas.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:447">There are several routes to the summit, each offering its own unique charm. I opted for the Shaw Wood Road trail, starting from the A646 Burnley Road. The trail leaves Burnley Road almost immediately, crossing over the Rochdale Canal alongside Lock No. 15 Shawplains. The road winds through woodlands before reaching a housing estate at Lee Bottom Road, which runs eastward, offering glimpses of the imposing Pike as you ascend. Be prepared for a good workout, as the trail steadily gains elevation.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="11:1-11:268">Finally, after conquering the final incline, the reward arrives. The 39-step spiral staircase beckons, leading you up another 40 feet to the balcony of the monument. Remember, a torch is recommended, as the narrow passage plunges into darkness, despite a grill that is meant to offer a light source.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="15:1-15:313">The views from the top are nothing short of magnificent. The hill, at a height of 1300 feet, shows rolling fields in every direction, dotted with villages, reservoirs, and the distant Pennine peaks. On a clear day, you can even see Manchester and the Irish Sea! Take a deep breath, soak it all in, and feel the sense of accomplishment wash over you.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="19:1-19:363">But Stoodley Pike is more than just a scenic overlook. It's steeped in history, dating back to the Iron Age. Explore the monument's intriguing inscriptions and weathered stones, whispering tales of the past. A monument was originally built to commemorate the Napoleonic Wars and then rebuilt to remember the Crimean War.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="19:1-19:363">The monument features the following faded inscription above the north facing door:</p>
<div>STOODLEY PIKE</div>
<div>A BEACON MONUMENT</div>
<div>ERECTED BY PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION</div>
<div>COMMENCED IN 1814 TO COMMEMORATE</div>
<div>THE SURRENDER OF PARIS TO THE ALLIES</div>
<div>AND FINISHED AFTER THE BATTLE OF</div>
<div>WATERLOO WHEN PEACE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1815.</div>
<div>BY A STRANGE COINCIDENCE</div>
<div>THE PIKE FELL ON THE DAY THE RUSSIAN</div>
<div>AMBASSADOR LEFT LONDON BEFORE THE</div>
<div>DECLARATION OF WAR WITH RUSSIA IN 1854.</div>
<div>WAS REBUILT WHEN PEACE WAS RESTORED IN</div>
<div>1856.</div>
<div>RESTORED AND LIGHTNING CONDUCTOR FIXED IN</div>
<div>1889.</div>

Today, we delve into the intriguing history of these two, the Church of St Thomas a Becket and it's replacement, the Church of St Thomas the Apostle.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="5:1-5:19" style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Church of St Thomas a Becket.</strong></p>
<p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:310" style="text-align: center;">Built between 1256 and 1260, the church witnessed centuries of life in the village. Its sturdy walls echoed with prayers, celebrations, and quiet moments of contemplation. Additions and alterations over time gave it a distinctive character, boasting two naves, aisles, chantry chapels, and a towering presence.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="11:1-11:31" style="text-align: center;">Fate, however, intervened in 1847 when a fierce storm ripped through the church, damaging it beyond repair. The community eventually embraced a new chapter. By 1854, a new church, St Thomas the Apostle, rose nearby, leaving the older structure to stand as a poignant reminder of what was.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="15:1-15:359" style="text-align: center;">Today, the ruins of St Thomas a Becket, carefully maintained and open to the public, offer a glimpse into the past. Crumbling arches frame the sky, weathered stones whisper tales of bygone days, and the silence holds a unique resonance. Occasionally, open-air services breathe life into these historical vestiges, creating a link between the past and present.</p>
<p style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">But the story of St Thomas a Becket extends beyond the physical structure. It's woven into the fabric of Heptonstall, intertwined with the lives of its residents and visitors. For some, it's a place of quiet reflection; for others, it's a source of historical intrigue; and for many, a symbol of the village's resilience and evolving identity.</span></p><p data-sourcepos="9:1-9:83" style="text-align: center;"><strong>The church of St Thomas the Apostle</strong></p>
<p data-sourcepos="9:1-9:83" style="text-align: center;">Rising beside it stands the current church, completed in 1854. Its Victorian Gothic architecture exudes a sense of grandeur, boasting stained-glass windows that bathe the interior in a kaleidoscope of light. Each intricately designed panel tells a story, inviting contemplation and reflection.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="13:1-13:266" style="text-align: center;">Beyond its physical beauty, St. Thomas holds a special place in the hearts of the Heptonstall community. Regular services provide a space for spiritual sustenance and connection, while events like the Pennine Spring Music Festival fill the air with vibrant melodies.</p>
<p style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">But the church's reach extends further. The churchyard, too, plays a significant role, serving as the final resting place for notable figures like the poet Sylvia Plath and the Notoriuos "king" David Hartley, leader of the Cragg Vale Coiners, adding another layer to the rich tapestry of stories woven around the church.</span></p><p style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">I took these pictures on July 11, 2020, with a Nikon D3300.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HM1SJSVBY9NYD313H7VQCTQ8" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiujsj7Q5c4djm6JBzFfUKQgGCyRW7QeuLckv_8xl2r9XGUEz9ArSGAGcoSJNzR0-TjD_Q-Y1ztLZf-c26jDaqWLrCt89x_OzNWclCvjvJ_pAEo8sZYLne2ld5QMH0fGwrEpFNhNpszlKNVBjdN2t5dT1CdHX9zc4JpzOqDJZr9GA-QOQ1XTvoHSc5ZyTUe/w640-h426/Blog%20BW%20DSC_0144%20Church%20of%20St%20Thomas%20a%20Becket,%20Heptonstall%20%206000%20x%204000%20x%20350.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Parish Church of St Thomas the Apostle.

Along this stretch, you'll pass Rose Grove Bridge and Hollins Tunnel, also sometimes known as Cemetery Tunnel. I have no idea why it is known as this, as Sowerby Bridge Cemetery is on the opposite hillside. After the tunnel, the canal curves towards Sowerby Bridge, passing under the Co-Op Bridge and Tower Hill Bridge.</p><p style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">After the closure of the Rochdale Canal in 1952, the canal came to an abrupt end just before reaching Tower Hill Bridge and was infilled through to the modern-day exit of Tuel Lane Tunnel adjacent to Lock Number 2.</p><p style="text-align: center;">

It is thought to date from 1370 and was built by the monks of St. Mary's Abbey, York. The bridge used to be popular for tombstoning, with the deep pools underneath the main arch allowing people to jump without much threat of injury. This was outlawed a few years ago, but the bridge is still popular in the summer months as a destination for bikers riding up through the Yorkshire Dales. It was replaced as the main crossing over the river by the nearby Stanley Bridge. The bridge is Grade I listed.</div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">Legend says that the Devil built the bridge in exchange for the first soul to cross after completion. A woman threw bread across for her dog to chase, so that the devil felt tricked as the dog was the first soul to cross the completed bridge.</div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"> </div><p style="text-align: center;">

The impressive structure is somewhere I had wanted to visit for a while, and I was in nearby Kirkby Lonsdale when I got the chance. The viaduct is also known as Batty Moss, and it is located approximately 13 miles north of Settle and 73 miles south of Carlisle on the famous Settle to Carlisle Railway. There is the Ribblehead Railway Station adjacent to the viaduct, which is a train ride of approx. 1 hour and 20 minutes from Leeds Railway Station, and the B6255 road linking Hawes with Ingleton passes the viaduct.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The pictures below are a set I have recently re-edited for inclusion in my Photo4Me portfolio.

The first stone was laid on October 12, 1870, and the last in 1874. One thousand navvies built the viaduct and established shanty towns on the moors for themselves and their families. They named the towns after Crimean War victories, well-to-do districts of London, and biblical names. There were smallpox epidemics and deaths from industrial accidents. Around one hundred navvies were killed during its construction. There are around 200 burials of men, women, and children in the graveyard at Chapel-le-Dale dating from the time of its construction. The church has a memorial to the railway workers.</div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">The line over the bridge was opened to goods traffic on August 3, 1875, but passenger trains did not commence running until May 1, 1876, following approval of the works by Colonel F. H. Rich, an inspecting officer of the Board of Trade.</div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">In 1964, several brand new Humber cars landed on the ground after being blown off their waggons while being carried over the viaduct on a freight train.<strong><br /></strong></div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">Ribblehead Viaduct is 440 yards (400 m) long and 104 feet (32 m) above the valley floor at its highest point. It is made up of twenty-four arches of 45 feet (14 m) span, with foundations 25 feet (7.6 m) deep. Every sixth pier is 50% thicker to mitigate against complete collapse should any pier fail. The north end of the viaduct is 13 feet (4.0 m) higher in elevation than the south end, leading to a gradient of 1:100. 1.5 million bricks were used in the construction, and some of the limestone blocks weigh 8 tonnes each.</div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">Ribblehead Viaduct is the longest on the Settle-Carlisle Railway. Ribblehead railway station is less than half a mile to the south, and to the north is the Blea Moor Tunnel, the longest tunnel on the line. It is near the foot of Whernside.</div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">The Settle-Carlisle Line is one of three north-south main lines, along with the West Coast Main Line through Penrith and the East Coast Main Line via Newcastle. British Rail attempted to close the line in the 1980s, citing the fact that the viaduct was unsafe and would be expensive to repair. A partial solution was to single the line across the viaduct in 1985, preventing two trains from crossing simultaneously. A 30 mph speed limit is also in force. The closure proposals generated tremendous protests and were eventually retracted. The viaduct, along with the rest of the line, was repaired and maintained, and there are no longer any plans to close it.</div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">Two taller viaducts on the route are Smardale Viaduct at 131 feet (40 m) high and near Crosby Garrett, and Arten Gill at 117 feet (36 m).</div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">In 2016, the line and viaduct carried seven passenger trains from Leeds to Carlisle per day in each direction, plus periodic long-distance excursions, many hauled by steam locomotives. Regular diesel-hauled heavy freight trains also use the route to help reduce congestion on the West Coast Main Line. Colas Rail operates a timber train most Friday afternoons, which passes over the Viaduct when it departs its yard opposite Ribblehead railway station. The combination of the rarely seen timber train and the British Rail Class 56 locomotives used to pull the train has built quite an enthusiastic following. Another regular traffic flow to use it is the limestone aggregate train from Arcow quarry sidings (near Horton-in-Ribblesdale), which runs to various stone terminals in the Leeds and Manchester areas on different days. This has to be reversed in the goods loop at Blea Moor signal box (north of the viaduct) because the connection from the quarry sidings to the main line faces north.</div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">Thanks for looking, please take a moment to share and follow me on social media.</div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">All the pictures remain the copyright of Colin Green.</div>cgphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12597029142884611365noreply@blogger.comRibblehead Viaduct, Low Sleights Rd, Carnforth LA6 3AU, UK54.2103854 -2.370373725.900151563821154 -37.5266237 82.520619236178845 32.7858763tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2939809686434583173.post-21328364348540124212023-12-03T11:55:00.003+00:002023-12-03T11:55:17.922+00:00My Popular Zazzle Products November 2023<p style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">I recently opened a couple of Zazzle stores to sell my pictures on a variety of products, and so far, while not selling anything, a number of views have been received on the items I have listed.

The line opened in 1881 and remained in use until 1952, when it closed due to subsidence. The two stations along the route were closed many years before the line's full closure. There is quite a lot of evidence of the line between Clifton Road and Pickle Bridge, Wyke. Sadly, between Clifton Road and Anchor Pit, not much exists.</div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">The line split from the Calder Valley Line at Pickle Bridge Junction, which was between the stations of Norwood Green (closed 1953) and Lightcliffe (closed 1965). It then crossed the 22 arch (now 8 arches; the northern 14 were demolished in 1987 due to subsidence) Wyke (Red Lion) viaduct before arriving at Baliff Bridge station (1881–1917). The line then carried on southwards over the still-standing 5-arch Thornhills Viaduct before crossing another now-demolished viaduct at Clifton. The three-arch Clifton viaduct immediately led to Clifton Road Station (1881–1931). Beyond Clifton Road, the line then crossed the A644 Wakefield Road and River Calder before joining the Caldervale Line at Anchor Pit Junction between Brighouse Station (1840–1970, closed and demolished 1970; reopened 2000) and Cooper Bridge Station (1840–1950).</div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #252525; text-align: center;"><div>I walked the route on two separate occasions, the first covering the former track layout from the site of Clifton Road Viaduct until I reached an abandoned railway bridge standing alone in the middle of a field between Thornhills Beck Viaduct and Birkhouse Road, Bailiff Bridge. This set was taken on March 30, 2014.</div>

The town is home to approximately 1400 people, and traditionally, the village's industry was hand-loom weaving. The village is a favourite spot with hikers and has featured in a number of TV shows in recent years, including the recent Shane Meadows drama The Gallows Pole, a story about the Cragg Vale Coiners, whose leader, "King" David Hartley, is buried in the churchyard.</p><p style="text-align: center;">
</p><p style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">The pictures below were taken at various locations around the town and don't feature the usual locations shown: the Wesleyan Chapel, the Ruined Church, and its replacement. I have posted my pictures of them in earlier posts. They were taken using a Nikon D3300 on July 11, 2020.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HF1YWR456D1WAQZWA18X23XA" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5agYc8WqvPNwOShLE6APt5FOh3YWw6S62pOiszQ0SpVKp3Fes7tkZHBVTViHrg3CHvXdNp84ga075DAnStqDL5h3tSbvcCt7nd1gdSZFi1Qw2RxFEiaLI9xoME9grYnkg9RJwBErr3umeg2X2tr9h9UEb0yCkrJ3tzVCMI2M9nG3t23dSoZjokDafL1ae/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0114%20Heptonstall%20Phone%20Box%206000%20x%204000.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The phone box found towards the lower end of Hetonstall is now I am told used as a library by the local community.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HF1ZBWEM55TSJX7CNG8HD8H5" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNlfR8jmt7dUAAQROhheNx0KpO3VciUjRQE7K_xe9q4HxQRzWxWsAgrT2g4fhmnd4DXRsfBZxlPf4IxzS3Tu9w5S9kGAG-DRcPDJmbDIpYYkJInTIk07CgxfR4jjihZMRoY4h1NeNFmSQBg7YeOeDHJSXK9PRkpRgv43wzqFHG4fXuvmpawwcM_x37V6d/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0115%20Towngate,%20Heptonstall%206000%20x%204000.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Towngate is the main route through the centre of the village.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HFM2MPHCMNW7CKQWXYEFEC18" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR8nc8hSvUsQKzFVa8R0msmy4nHb1UQA24x7bizpKU_d3iSZux0ZYVK79bCvCVomrB8fNGsNaowEBEM8FLub_rgxWePBTW5OexplFSdcquSsdWjszgWnXekQ2QmvkqRcFkCVObRD0RcptMgok17ahxUiENAKFFfTKfF3T7XmYf3dxS-KEu15PAb0ucgHng/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0116%20Heptonstall%20Post%20Office%206000%20x%204000.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The village's post office.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HFMAFBAGDBWBCAD63ZWVYJEQ" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzxRUK_qO7wdPAAby-hM_lOMlHYIE9h56q235NxU_S6c_C6dc06nDhGa_0Wn4kvGqPnuGFjFFAJZoHSPcI-KptF3mguC_wVZQHyJtPYWO_B2P8wRI82hNEzHMLf5s9hh_dPndsFIRXsu2uOnyn0aiIIRQzVGThclNnIwCvFUJ9NWK1sA2tQvZN2ykruxNt/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0117%2034%20Towngate,%20Heptonstall%206000%20x%204000.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">34 Towngate.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HF258ZNAVFP4Q5HGV5MD1X30" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW1srjjKEVWM6Vyyzcuo2SACy0JAJtr4dB3jzPsMCBPPajbT2Gr5kkwS4MeRY91Tcbw5Ax51EfZAIdA5Ybf64dvj0a_I2g7LJQbOLcBPNfIT1_6Y7ba4JAjXBE2kIEpGHhXFTtmIqFfZn3C04V3siVh5M-UlxlwrQRYDpxDbFr-gf3PamNueaw9AK0gw8u/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0119%2041A%20Towngate,%20Heptonstall%206000%20x%204000.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">41A Towngate.

It first opened in 1895 and is currently home to Wakefield Trinity RLFC and, since 2023, Wakefield AFC. The picture shows the East (main) Stand and the Benidorm Stand, so named due to It's resemblance to the hotels found in the Spanish resort.</p><p style="text-align: center;">
</p><p style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">The main stand has been demolished since I took the original picture and is currently in the process of being rebuilt. The club, having struggled for many years to move grounds, has finally proceeded with a scheme to redevelop Belle Vue.</p><p style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">The artwork can be seen un-watermarked and full size on Clickasnap, it can also be purchased on various items from my Zazzle Store.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HF1FDQKE9TPXPFCM9NH71VNC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhtbZU7xP4CpORbbTpljDzupyE23-B3v0_vBlmCYF5XSnICBA8lNz1InuAxt9yzu3xVSRNSv2kFDOKUmf2R9BpbQa0SqCv8fxGSEP314FTmgBh8niRWO-OVbWqMCmHqUYXQnde8_XqVFRVWbOK0tCgRyD7U-R63npewrSHPfwZelW0xUZ3d99yvmeT4HuT/w640-h426/Blog%20Wakefield%20Trinty%20Belle%20Vue%206000%20x%204000.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Clicking the image should open a link to the un-watermarked, higher resolution version on Clickasnap.

text-align: center;">I previously pictured some of Asquith Bottom Mill in 2013 and posted these pictures earlier, the pictures below were taken in April 2017 with a Nikon d3300.</p>
<p style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">Asquith Bottom Mills is a mixed-use industrial estate at Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire, built up around a former (depending on the era) carpet, wire, and woollen mill. The mill was originally built by William Edlestons, and I still remember the red neon sign with their name across the roof during the 1980s (sadly now gone). I believe they closed during the late 1980's and early 1990's.</p>

The following are the results of that. I'll have more attempts at them over time, but these are my first six.</p><p style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">Four of the pictures were created based on pictures I have taken and can also be seen on Clickasnap; the two New York pictures were created from images used under Creative Commons commercial licence.</p><p style="text-align: center;">
</p><p style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">I created them using Photoshop. I took the original image, cropped it, resized it, and then used the cutout filter in the filter gallery to give the image an illustration-style look. I completed the image by adding the text.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HDC0MV5M8C46V4AR4RBJT4JJ" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgon-KSXY1bwxf8l-FA7BBXkU6MImZZ6JVraGvTiVq1A_5SkuTiOrr9p4soG12LDEFoB44OrsPJy05DQ3X_lg11YNCPm1wC_1vQWMcoMkhLhgqgv9jTRDH7OlJlJe7IBIAe5bGeUrjiCuy2OIsQedl0yBO9hndK7sleAp7_EZWL9O4Ent1ZiM7ptdC1DNqM/w640-h426/Blog%20Ardrossan%20Beach%206000%20x%204000%20travel%20poster.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This picture looks out towards the Isle of Arran from Ardrossan Beach, Ayrshire.

Unable to gain access to the top of the aqueduct and with only limited information available, I assume the structure no longer carries water across the access road.</p>
<p style="color: #252525; text-align: center;">The aqueduct crosses the industrial estate's top entrance road, running down from Upper Washer Lane.</p>

Wainhouse owned the dye works from 1856 when he inherited them until he sold it to Henry Mossman in 1873. Because of the initialls i think the aqueduct must date from this 17 year period.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HC7HSZ8NBH5BSZ8PMQQA2RR0" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy4AmRznJcBAXNultgLiM2sHJm4CdkMYtUPW_S4OtZAXi7WdWoHnrd5-qJotbIg6som5gRqI1R_h4O8EFe0FCwXRMUGCAU4YvIA9hCe_0d61pBqJLIspJ_tJOb4l5LMVAQFWl8aUfPvZMwrybrKsYhMusyWIGcU7PK9A8ENrB3ZFkVx5LU100Nq-O-_U3b/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0010%20Washer%20Lane%20Aquaduct%2012%20x%208.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="color: #252525;">Clicking any image should open a link in another window to a higher-resolution, un-watermarked version on Clickasnap.</div>

I'd set off to walk a loop from my home in Sowerby Bridge, down the valley from Sowerby through Boulderclough, and in to Mytholmroyd before returning along route 66 and the Rochdale Canal towpath.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #252525; text-align: left;">Along the route, as you pass through Brearley, you pass the murder stone just north of the railway bridge. The stone is a memorial to William Deighton, a tax inspector who was killed in Halifax while investigating "King" David Hartley and his coiner gang. I have previously posted more on the memorial.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HCQ38A89XH6K0DSR5QFBMEWZ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga1sekkmW3wX2R6DJVjHIeWAaEBdnzhPuw-UJ1esWs1T872kK375BwjoPbfvbw1vbgzIUFxFeltdbroqi-uEhGBpa0EoCBvGQdUYx9TzijmBZKhB8xYpXM0G3wEUygnb86D4vW666xfxwT3QI1xkZrOkied8mdUoXG9UK05BaBMMwZXdr5MDV9LEsr0GBX/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0046%20Route%2066%20Cycleway%20and%20William%20Deighton%20Memorial,%20Brearley%206000%20x%204000.jpg" width="640" /></a><span style="text-align: left;">The path is part of the Route 66 cycleway (bridleway), with the railway bridge seen at the top of the picture and the green metal wall.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HCQ6RYDVGRXR7514M9H7AAKJ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirTH8hhZCOh0BhE9ixHkMOZNlJX2Ig8OZ5r2AwLcfPEIn72KfFlZSHw_d9fnycuNNYkCE1NasiLFOBgVh5Af-fsBtT9P1LS3DeQX_VxY-HyeV0EBUdk0ZABCvb922lnlWVzYRRNI5-WMK-3u-TF2wL1RTNnQbfX4CCN6G2JxfuhGYk-qDKZRvfamjL_MNr/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0050%20Skeletal%20Sculpture%20on%20William%20Deighton%20Memorial,%20Brearley%206000%20x%204000.jpg" width="640" /></a><span style="color: #252525;">Underneath the skeletal artwork reads the following:A full and true account of a barborous, bloody, and inhuman murder.

<div class="separator" style="color: #252525;">Carrying on my walk past the former chapel, now apartments, and through the centre of Brearley, the rain came, and trying to avoid soaking, I sheltered underneath Wheatley Royd Farm Bridge. This didn't work out as planned after nearly 30 minutes of waiting for my weather app to update to tell me it was going to be at least another hour, so I carried on with the walk and the soaking. The following two pictures were taken underneath the shelter of the bridge.</div><div class="separator" style="color: #252525;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HCQ5G5ZTHAJ1HQA63W3BS0BD" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjleUxDBT_dD1aA5CA-OcRqdiz7UtQ5F1a4TQmXWx7MXM6MovHxIEl7PkAT2iaD0zGvCHpY5GewoMijtRERZyC8kiPDEr6BRBip9vuxZjNpm80M5qEhnGSeoHG7QAtBtd9LmC6aEu7fceXaXjy7fmgpzaF9-SCYD4MYVkABt81XzkrXcZFX3w1NdQrKq3vU/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0051%20A%20Wet%20Calder%20Valley%20from%20lind%20Lane,%20Brearley%206000%20x%204000.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.clickasnap.com/profile/colgreen31/photo/01HCQ897VNXBNPV2NBM75SW3WH" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaT5Ts7h8Wiy1aSGHOL4Jaqtu2ThiZ7pkb_A3njQSPMuXdpwcrDOnJNrf4v8cq4RTC2dTNMYSwJeaHCbfO4B6QYb5fZl604_-0Xd9fTjBkUV-Rmik2gXScOH-D3zwXmMfumyMkFy5ldQIftIGzPI0iQa-lCFDAz1qs3lYV8O8Rl7DKkv63gyBUUKuAS2RK/w640-h426/Blog%20DSC_0053%20Wheatley%20Royd%20Farm%20Bridge%206000%20x%204000.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="color: #252525;">Clicking any image should open a link in another window to the higher-resolution, un-watermarked version on Clickasnap.</div>
