So ein Tag....................
The railway tunnel from Helsby Quarry
6/14/09The quarry was in use throughout the 1800s and there was a tramway - and later a railway - from the quarry across Ince Marshes to Ince Pier from where the sandstone was shipped to Liverpool. Many of Liverpool’s docks were built with stone from here.

A really amazing series, and very interesting the history that goes with it. How come you have a name like Birkenhead?
Thank you for sharing the story and the great pictures!

I remember the monitoring post from a geography A level field trip I helped lead back in 1986. Placing the post on a hilltop so that it could be thoroughly irradiated if the big one was dropped was a stroke of civil defence genius.
I went to school in the Manchester area in the 1970s, and taught high school in Ipswich in the mid 1980s. For some reason, we visited the North West for an "A" Level field trip in 1986. I am getting a little rusty on the details now, but I remember a lot about the North West of England. My mother lives in Saddleworth.
Wow! This looks great!!!
Is this up the hill where you have been with me and us some times yet?
How are you Jenny and how is your dad doing?
Love, Birgit
The house is doing very well! After some terrible moments with mostly all of the workmen nothing really is terrible any more! The house is looking great, the new windows are wonderful, the roof is the most beautiful one in the village ;)) and Wednesday the house will be painted and after that the scaffolding will be removed and they work on the terrace and then they can rebuild the arch between house and garage! :)) Sounds good ey!?
Well, we have to tapezieren around all windows and paint most of all rooms because it is ten years that we did it the last time but I can live with that... we had one week of holidays yet and have two left and that's good because it has been a hard time having the workmen and work ourselfs.
We will be happy to present you to our "new" house! :))
Love, Birgit
Hello Jenny,I am back at last,my pc was out of action for over a month and we have been away to our daughters in Derbyshire,we were lucky with the weather, not too hot as it is now,

Hello Jenny,
Nice to hear from you and to know your Dad is doing well,I think maybe he is a positive person and was determined to get well again,
I can imagine how you felt doing baking in the hot weather,I have two fans whirring away when it is hot in the kitchen,hope it all went well at the strawberry tea.
Flog can be very time comsuming,I found it so at times but now only have friends abd family to comment which makes it better.
Have a good day.
love Maisie
Wow, you really did well with your strawberry tea,people will always buy something to eat.
Good old Dad ,you can't make him do what he doesn't want to do,he sounds like someone I know,(my husband) TEHE
I will have to have a look at Flickr again,just getting things back after the pc collapsed.
See you there.
love
Maisie

I love industrial ruins. This combination of the Triassic and the lush woodlands is particularly interesting. There are spots like this throughout the north and west, up to Carlisle perhaps, wherever the geology and the industrial dereliction are right.
