A trip to the local beauty spot of Healy Dell Nature Reserve in Rochdale brought us to this lone 340 year old bridge. This was one of a pair here called ‘The Thrutch Bridges’ but known locally as the Fairy bridges. The other was washed away in a severe storm in December 2015. The two bridges were never foot bridges at all though, but supported an external wall of the Fulling Mill built in 1676, long since gone. Enjoy full screen.

Piethorn Reservoir: A first look at this reservoir for us on this new walk only a few miles from home. This is one of six reservoirs all near to each other above the village of Newhey, Rochdale. This 180° view is made from a stitch of 4x 6000x4000 landscape photos before reduction for Ipernity upload. I was just about to upload this before Ipernity collapsed last year. **A Big thank you to all involved in fixing the technical problems here. - What would we do without you!** Wishing you all a very happy photographic future back here in Ipernity. Keep safe.

The scene looking south along the Rochadale canal at 'The Summit' near Littleborough. Another C19 Isolation walk for us, re-visiting this canal after our last visit in January. This time we are walking to and fro the stretch from ‘The Summit’ to ‘Walsden’. As can be seen, this is a popular canal for the colourful craft seen here, besides us walkers. Enjoy full screen
