Was there last
we called there after having an alarm fitted at vanbitz, We used to go there a lot when Julia’s mother was alive as she lived in Beaminster and I’d forgot how pretty the area is and bloody awful the roads are
We were at Vanbitz a week before to have our alarm fitted.
We walked down from the campsite into thr town and West Bay last Saturday then caught the bus back.
Good to see the town busy and only about 2 empty shops.

The coffee shop lady told me it had been sold and was due to be "developed sensitively" but she was not too hopeful.
Alas, I don't know what the building was originally but maybe one of our southern Scots members can enlighten us all?
It's the old Rosefield Tweed mill. I think it's been empty for almost a hundred years. The locals started a group and I think have purchased most of the building, but it needs a roof putting on it and they don't have the funds at present. Maybe lorger would have some more info on it as he's technically a Doonhamer ?

Even though I’ve been insulted as I’m never a Doonhamer
I’ll still answer Yes it’s Rosefield mills (our first house 30years ago was the flats next door) a group have raised money to buy it but as far as I’m aware they can’t raise the funds to restore it, I think it’s listed which triples the cost and hassle. Although it’s not been a mill for over 100years a few businesses have used the ground floor as storage, it would make beautiful flats in an ideal location.

Get out of my way when I'm riding my new bike through your field.
If the lamas don't mind why are you winging!

Ok.....so has nobody noticed it's a "C" road?? Not seen one of those for decades. Just hope I'm not the oldest person here
A couple of photos of the Pontcysyllte viaduct near Llangollen.
261 feet high at its highest point there is a walkway on one side but only a 10” wall on the other side of the canal. A bit scary when navigating a narrow boat across.
There is a story that, in the days of horse drawn barges, schoolchildren using the walkway to cross the viaduct were required to go back in order to allow the horses free passage. Rather than do that they would climb over the railing and cling onto the outside until the horse had passed.

Nice tea room there, the old chapel even let us take our bikes in because it was raining outside. We cycled from Chirk along the towpath.A couple of photos of the Pontcysyllte viaduct near Llangollen.

From today's trip. On foot this week, no bike.
Also, a good use of ex-containers.
Some shops, eating places, arty stuff.
Today in Bristol.

That Jim has got a lot to answer for, the sneaky git.
Strangely enough he and I were discussing the very same piccie this weekend at Stoneleigh. We reckoned it was taken at a Lincoln Show.
I have to admit, it's a job I detest doing, hence the "anti splash" stance.
Cheers,
Jock.
