The chimney of Crossley's former carpet mills at Dean Clough dominates the sky in this view up the steep cobbled street built c1900 to link the new housing estate at Woodside with Old Road in Halifax.

Mam Tor is a 517 m (1,696 ft) hill near Castleton in the High Peak of Derbyshire, England. Its name means "mother hill", so called because frequent landslips on its eastern face have resulted in a multitude of "mini-hills" beneath it. These landslips, which are caused by unstable lower layers of shale, also give the hill its alternative name of Shivering Mountain. In 1979, the continual battle to maintain the A625 road (Sheffield to Chapel en le Frith, seen running across this view) on the crumbling eastern side of the hill was lost when the road officially closed as a through-route.

The profile of the mighty Shutlingsloe varies greatly as you circumnavigate its loft heights. This view is taken from the moorland between the Congleton to Buxton Road and the road down to the bridge in Wildboarclough.

After all the recent sunny weather it was a disappointment to find today to be dull and misty. Undeterred I headed up Shutlingsloe with Eagle1942 and we found the summit to be entirely cloudbound. It was clearer when we headed back after a pint at the Crag and I was able to take this view of the brooding hill from the stile where the lower path heads off for Wildboarclough.

Looking remarkably rustic for somewhere so close to the town centre, this view shows one of the three pathways leading down from close to the Market Place and Town Hall down to Waters Green and the railway station in Macclesfield. Brunswick Hill is one of those attractive, if rather steep, paths found in many northern towns.
