An overview of Hattersley Station

This overview of Hattersley Station was taken using an 18x zoom from the same place as my earlier photograph of the approach to Hattersley.

It's Nelson again

Nelson is a two-year old parrot who loves to go walking around the Market Place.

We last saw him a year ago outside a florists.

Stack of pipes

These pipes were stacked next to Prima e Dopo near the big Hole in the Road I showed you recently.

They are destined to replace the old gas main under the road.

PS I had intended to publish a quiz photo here today. I'm taking a last-minute break next weekend and may not be following blogs as closely as I usually do, so the quiz is postponed to 8th June. Daily posts will continue as normal.

Low End Farm

Low End Farm snuggles under the shelter of Werneth Low.

It used to be the home of a herd of beef cattle and for a long time they delivered our daily pinta.

Now our milk is delivered from a dairy in the Hope Valley.

Theatre Royal: Frieze detail (2)

I recently featured the frieze from the top of the Theatre Royal Onward.

This is the second of two photographs showing part of the frieze in more detail. Do click on the picture above to see it at its best.

The first one was from the right hand side of the frieze. This one is a detail of part of the coat of arms.

Corner with heathers

When I recently featured the new trees at the corner of Corporation Street and Market Street, and I mentioned that some heather had been added since, several of you wanted to see.

So here you are.

Queen Adelaide Inn Sign

It is Q week at ABC Wednesday. There are two obvious candidates for featuring on Hyde DP.

First there is The Queens in the town centre with its guard dog and an inn sign that portrays the six wives of Henry VIII.

Second is the Queen Adelaide in Gee Cross.

I've already posted a photograph of the inn sign that is round the side of the pub next to a plaque with information about Queen Adelaide.

Today I'm going with the second candidate and am posting a photo of the sign that is on the front of the QA.

My other ABC-Wednesday Q posts this week are ~~ Queen Adelaide Reservoir under construction at Old Hyde ~~ Queen Victoria's Back at Ackworth born, gone West ~~ Queen Victoria Not Amused at Sithenah
