Visions of Park Bridge: A fenced heritage

HFF wishes from the Park Bridge Country Park. We are just approaching the steep rocky valley, outlined in the series of photos before this. These fences stop people and animals venturing into the two small area’s which are in fact depressions in the ground with now covered deep holes, possibly caused by mining tunnel collapses as this was coal mining country. This at one time would have been a busy place but now it’s generally quite lonely. The trees are a new addition.
HFF, enjoy your weekend

Beautiful place. Lovely photo. Are these depressions dangerous? Is that why they are fenced in=

4 years ago.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Eva Lewitus ^club

Thanks Eva, yes this is a most wonderful corner. I don't think these depressions are really dangerous as the old holes have been capped or filled in many years ago now, but one cannot be too safe!

Best Wishes, Herb

Ah here you are my friend Füsun. Generally a little late on the HFF weekends but always here in the end, and I am always very pleased about that. So pleased that you liked this toned mono shot from this area of which I have now made a series here.

Belated HFF to you too and stay safe -that is from here -the worse affected C19 place in Britain which in turn is the second worse in the world so where does that leave us here in Oldham. Much better in your home country of Turkey I think. Ah well! Regards, Herb

A perfect subject for monochrome, gives it a somewhat nostalgic look!
(I will likely ALWAYS be late for HFF/HANWE as my time is not my own, not being retired and much preoccupied with other projects, but I do try and catch up eventually ....)
