A photo of the day thread

[Kiwi Brit]

A little bit of derelict Cornwall.
Once an old waterwheel system used to pull trams up a long steep hill.

Interesting. Where abouts in Cornwall. Next time we are in Cornwall would be worth a visit. TIA

For a minute I thought this was Britain’s answer to a lavoir. I could almost see the washer woman scrubbing the laundry on the stones.

Happy Thanksgiving Funsters, woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow in Albuquerque. At least the grandchildren are enjoying it.

Is that St. Gengoux-le-National?

Correct. Still here, leaving for somewhere near the Alps later.

Our French home is about 5 kilometres away so we know it well.

Nice market during the summer and great Cavalcade on the 1st Sunday in May each year.

A couple of summertime photos for you and anyone else who is interested.

The separate bell tower was to stop damage to the church due to vibration.

One interesting fact about St. Gengoux-le-National is that, until the time of the French Revolution, it was called St. Gengoux-le-Royal. Seems like a good decision to change the name.

We really liked it round here, unusually for us, we stopped for 2 days. We managed a ride along the Voie Vert before rain stopped play yesterday afternoon.
currently having lunch and deciding on our next stopover, probably near Dole

Where can you stay overnight near by. I would love to add it to my list!

There is a campsite there, it is Durdle Door Holiday Park.

I loved this insect house at the side of the railway track.

I bet Baycott could make alovely one.

Croft farm holiday park looks nice as i passed. There are several other sites that don't show up on 'search for sites', (sorry but I cant remember the names).

Luxulyan pub shows up as a stop over.

Also, if you are not scared of single track Cornish lanes, there is nothing to stop you staying over in the car park; (zoom in close to the map I posted). The roads are very narrow and steep in places. Definitely not suitable for a large MH!

Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Glad you liked our area. If ever you revisit in summer feel free to PM in advance and we can show you round.

Yes, they are definitely Lavoirs. Used for communal clothes washing in days gone by.

Some are fed from a spring while others, like the one 100 metres from our place, are built beside a stream. The separating wall has a tiled, sloped surface, allowing the clothes to be dipped in the stream, scrubbed clean and, again, rinsed in the stream. The floor on the Lavoir side is below the stream level so the need to bend is reduced. A classic design, totally fit for purpose.

Visiting the varied design of Lavoirs is something of a sport in southern Burgundy. A bit like train spotting I think.

You're all know it all's ( like me) amazing that these ancient buildings are still standing, yes they're all well designed and of all I've seen of a similar design though not seen one on a spring yet - - -we tend to find a lot of Geocaches near them .

OK minus 1 this morning and I was on a training trip on the Chesterfield Canal, so lots of chance to grab a few pictures

Just a shame that the Kingfishers weren't as still as the water
So here's one of them from a few weeks ago

We were running out of daylight on tonight's job, parked up on the track bed of the old Waverley line, but what a cracking sunset. Beautiful crimson crescent moon came along later but I never got the chance of a pic.
