Contemplating!

A look at our Tandle Hills Park here whilst taking another one of our exercise walks the other day. This is the highest point at 222m and shows the war memorial commemorating the men of Royton who died during the First World War and was unveiled on 22 October 1921. Originally the memorial, which is constructed from Portland stone, bore plaques listing the fallen and a bronze statue. We also see one of our dwindling 'Trig Points' used by our Ordinance Survey to denote the exact height - now made redundant by GPS.
The park consists of approximately 110 acres (45 ha), a combination of beech woodland and open grassland. The first two PiPs were taken in the winter of 2015 from the spot were that guy is looking to. These are towards the city of Manchester and the town of Rochdale. The third pip shows an 2018 Autumn view from the park behind me
