Last week I asked people what they thought they might see from this bench.
The majority guess was for the canal, but that was wrong.
Dick with his Eye on Texel suggested a walking path and trees and he isn't wrong as this is a section of the Tameside Trail.
Meditteranian Kiwi in Hania said a river and is not wrong neither as the bench overlooks a bend in the River Tame.
What nobody guessed (and why should they?) is that across the river is the Kingston Sewage Works. The area was once nick-named the Kingston Stink but I think that was more to do with a factory in the area rather than the sewage works.
The bench, by the way, is actually over the border in Haughton Green, but who cares about that?

i was curious to know the answer....this didnt came in mind, thanks 4 sharing
a bench to view (and smell) the sewage works - lovely !
Which way does the prevailing wind blow?
Just because a bench was there, I thought it would be some sort of walking trail. Very pretty.
I didn't say it but I was thinking it was by the canals after seeing the other posts. I still like the picture. Either one--the one with the view or the one with just the bench.
Finally I get to see the view from the bench! Awesome and I can't smell a thing :D
I can safely say I was way off on this one.
Aahh, it was a good guess, lol.
