When wandering the countryside you happen upon all sorts of odd things in remote places. In this case it was half of the tank from a railway wagon which was being used as a water trough on a hillside above Miller's Dale. Just getting this here must have involved a lot of effort.

On a visit to the Burbage Moor quarries near Sheffield I happened upon this sad specimen. Just try to imagine the huge amount of work that had been undertaken in dressing this block of stone on the outside, and then channelling out the interior, only for it to split in two. So there it sits, untouched since that sad day when the trough went bad!
