Borough of Bury

Found this little vehicle whilst passing the Imperial War Museum North. Apparently they are very popular in parts of Moss Side. I remember driving through there once by accident and being terrified that the car would break down. Probably overthinking it!

Cheshire Plain is indeed plain apart from the rich houses. Plenty of canals of immense proportions today. The size of the locks makes me realise how diddy the ones in Bath are.

Came round a bend in the River Weaver I happened on Cheshire's Salt Mine. A million tons a year is extracted. Just huge amounts. It used to be transported on the river but all goes by road now. Wow.

Passed by Media City on Salford Quays and saw lots of Blue Peter badges!

I am amazed at how one minute you can be in a heavily urban area and the next gentle countryside again. Still a few chimneys left in Bury.Lue lisää
