Aughton lies to the south of Ormskirk. This is agricultural land. I had the greatest pleasure of attending a wedding here and I couldn’t resist the chance of photographing this very nicely proportioned cross. It commemorates the coronation of George the fifth and Queen Mary in 1911. I cannot recall many coronation crosses, especially George and Mary. He seemed a popular KIng. coming to the throne after his father Edward the Seventh. George was the grandson of Queen Victoria.<br />

Slap bang on the Two Crosses route is the Turton Tower Pillbox. It is difficult to see what it protected, or even how effective they have been. However it has stood the march of time and remains quite spooky in the half light and early in the morning. I've been past it several times. It remains quite graffiti free and seems quite uncared for. <span id="ctl00_ContentBody_LongDescription"> World War II Pillbox near
Turton Tower on Chapeltown Road, near Edgworth. This Pillbox is of type
FW3/24. During World War II, these bunkers were used for the defense of
the United Kingdom against a possible enemy invasion, and there are
examples all over the country. They were built in 1940 and into 1941.</span><br />

This is the report from the Evening Gazette in November 2013.<br />

I have been in these flats and although the actual flat I visited was really good inside, the tenant hated going back there. It is an Iconic landscape. It also overshadows much of North Shore.<br />

This is the first video I have posted. Using the Ipad as a video camera. This is the lCabin Lift at North Shore Blackpool Promenade. It connects theUpper Promenade with the lower prom, Got to admit never seen it in operation. <br />

More information is included on the youtube details. This is the northern paddling pool, there was one opposite what is now the solarium. The actual location is about 600 yards north of the Gynn Square. These are artificial cliffs. When I used to live in North Shore I used to run up and down these slopes. This is about the only area on the sea front that has not been remodeled.</div>

I came here frequently in my childhood, I have been here with 2 of my 4 children, now grown. But most of all with my Grandma Jane - she figures elsewhere in the family story. I certainly visited with Dad, although I cannot remember him actually getting here, but sunbathing on Harcle Hill. There was a pole stuck in the top in the 60's as I recall. There is a farm below Harcle which was owned by a vet we knew, she kept white rats, so we had a break there.<br />
<br />
My Grandma thought it was the end of the Earth, I think and she sort of persuaded me to go no further - I did, frequently, sometimes with my dog - but often on my own - even as far as the Grane and beyond. Fifteen hour days! I also had more pace - perhaps 40 mile days. I occasionally met my "Old" friend Hamish up here and we climbed a lot of the grit that is here, generally unroped but occasionally roped. - I learned much hill craft from him. Pilgrims Cross is the second Cross on the Two Crosses challenge walk organised by the LDWA. The first cross is at Affetside. More information can be found <a href="http://nearly-midnight.blogspot.co.uk/2010/03/affetside.html" target="_blank">here</a> together with pictures. A search in the blog will give you more Affetside information.<br />

I recall when this building were Ladies and Gents toilets. However they have gone through a few changes over the years. Another comment on the internet believes they may have been a tramstop. Not sure trams ever went over any of the Blackpool bridges. I could just about buy into a bus shelter. They have been a variety of little shops over the years but they have never done well and ultimately gone down the plughole!<br />

There are very few old public toilets left in Blackpool, most have been flattened, maintenance is a real issue.</div>

There a quite a few WW2 artefacts relating to defence in Blackpool and the Fylde. Perhaps this is the least well known and least obvious. I have however managed to put this in a little more context than straight forward shots. The panorama and the shots with the cloudy skies were taken from the site of the now <a href="https://www.duedil.com/company/00881147/the-blackpool-abattoir-company-limited" target="_blank">flattened abattoir</a>. perhaps it's easy to see why no one would want to move into a house here. Don't mind doing any graveyard shots, but to be honest this is quite upsetting. Info underneath each photo:<br />

I have many pictures of these from all over Blackpool. On the left is Burton's Biscuits. On the right is a new(ish) housing estate. Construction has stopped, perhaps someone will add a comment. Anyway the houses behind them are built on the remains of Billy Smith's Scrapyard and the Blackpool brewery. The houses to the right have started to be dismantled by the local hoodlums too. The road which runs from left to right is Devonshire road. Apologies for the strangely disjointed blue people carrier! I have got scarily big picture of both these panoramas.</td></tr>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Situated on the seafront of Blackpool this slowly developing eyesore is earmarked for demolition by cash hungry developers!<br />
<br />
Directly ripped from the Evening Gazette but found on a Bulletin board!<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">
BOLD plans for an 11-storey hotel on Blackpool’s seafront have re-emerged.<br />
<br />
The scheme to demolish the Palm Beach Hotel on New South Promenade in
South Shore and replace it with a £14m new property is earmarked to have
its planning permission renewed.<br />
<br />
Since it was first approved in 2009, no work has been carried out on the
development and the Palm Beach has been closed for around a year.<br />
<br />
Blackpool Council’s planning committee is being recommended to renew the permission when its meets on Monday.<br />
<br />
A report to the committee, chaired by Coun David Owen, says: “The
introduction of relatively tall buildings in this location is to be
welcomed in principle as it shows a level of investment and confidence
in the area.”<br />
<br />
However, some residents of nearby Arundel Court, St Martins Court and
Clifton Drive have submitted fresh objections to the proposals.<br />
<br />
They claim the buildings are too high, will be over-dominant and lead to a loss of privacy.<br />
<br />
The Palm Beach scheme is one element of a comprehensive redevelopment plan for the whole of Bourne Crescent.<br />
<br />
Outline planning permission was also granted in 2009 for hotels
including The Colwyn, The Skye, The Trafford, The Sandpiper and The
Headlands, which would see a mixture of residential and holiday
accommodation built at each end of Bourne Crescent.<br />
<br />
A third application for an 11-storey high residential development on the
site of The Kimberley, The Waldorf and the Henderson hotels was refused
because it did not include any holiday accommodation.<br />
<br />
Hoteliers on Bourne Crescent say redevelopment is needed because of a
decline in the number of guests choosing to stay in that part of
Blackpool. </div>

Having got lost! again. Heading down the Castlerigg road seemed to be a good idea. I had to get to Keswick. Spotted this building. This is a really steep bit of hill. A good place to have a toll. I would suggest it is on what would have been the "main" road between Keswick/Penrith and the south. The next village of any significance will be Grasmere, then Ambleside. There is a little more info <a href="http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-71768-toll-bar-cottage-keswick-cumbria" target="_blank">here</a>. The toll roads are under researched and little known part of our heritage. The cottage is situated on a fork of the road. This <a href="http://www.geog.port.ac.uk/webmap/thelakes/html/lgaz/lk14643.htm" target="_blank">site</a> gives a little more information about the cottage.<br />

I am pasting the 2009 Pickering Town council Newsletter below; Apologies about any copyright breeches - please copy and use the images if you wish. The panorama has already been published once.<br />

<div style="background-color: #fce5cd;">
Smiddy Hill<br />The Town Council is responsible for the two open spaces in the town centre,<br />Riverside Walk and Smiddy Hill. Some years ago, at Riverside Walk, the Town<br />Council created an amenity area from what had become an eroded bankside. The amenity with retaining wall, trees, small scale planting, seats and picnic tables is enjoyed by local people and visitors alike.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fce5cd;">
<br />Smiddy Hill is also an area in the town centre where people can rest awhile. In the<br />centre of the open space is a cross which commemorates the reign of Edward VII<br />and the accession of George V. There is another memorial at the southern end to the late John Wilson. The deceased was a local councillor – he served on both Pickering Urban District Council and the County Council - and a member of the Labour Party. This memorial was erected in 1950. The only other structure is a raised sensory garden in front of the Liberal Club.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fce5cd;">
<br />A small group of local people chaired by Councillor Margaret Lowe has been look-<br />ing at the open space at Smiddy Hill will known as the Lumley Rest Gardens. The group has come up with a series of recommendations which the Town Council is considering. The main recommendation is that the lower shrub bed and attendant railings are removed. This would open up Smiddy Hill from the south and show the<br />commemorative cross, backed by the buildings on the north side of Smiddy Hill, to better effect. The flower boxes at the base of the cross would be removed so that<br />the structure could be seen as a whole. The shrubbed area would be turfed and the seats which run along its top side moved to the eastern side of the open space. In addition the Wilson Memorial would be re-erected in the cemetery where the remains of John Wilson are buried. It has proved very difficult to make the memorial vandal proof: the tap has had to be replaced regularly and no longer can water run freely into the lower basin where it used to be available for dogs and birds. The lead inscription has suffered much wear and tear and hardly any of the lettering remains.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fce5cd;">
<br />Grounds maintenance is undertaken by the Town Council with Pickering in Bloom and the Council is particularly grateful for the work that the In Bloom group has done with Pickering’s young people in creating floral displays in the open space. The Town Council hopes that this will continue and is also grateful to the In Bloom group for being willing to recreate the sensory garden.</div>
<br style="background-color: #fce5cd;" /><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">The Town Council would not only appreciate any information you might have about the history of Smiddy Hill once it ceased to be a cattle market in the late nineteenth</span><br style="background-color: #fce5cd;" /><span style="background-color: #fce5cd;">century but also on the ideas for change.</span><br /><br />

Saw this a few years ago when I visited the Burneside papermill and also "did" the Skyline event with Morecambe bay and Bowland LDWA. Never photographed it.<br />
<br />
Situated on private land and slightly off the beaten track (A591), it is imposing. Seems in good condition too. There is a better explanation of the monument <a href="http://www.visitcumbria.com/sl/kendal-elbamonument/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

This library was my local library when I was in my 20's. I went in their fairly regularly, frequently a stop with one of the kids in the buggy. There wern't plenty of books but it had quite a goods kid's section and there was a reading room full of old codgers sheltering from the cold. It has looked like this for a couple of years now. Shame nice memories, but there just does not seem to be a future here.<br />

Oh no! he's gone all Latin again. Actually its on the crest of the
NatWest bank at the corner of Warley road and Dickson road. Got to own
up it looks really out of place on the corner. However it is a symbol of
a bygone age. Fine piece of stone work, especially the crest. Destined
to be flattened, may even have been by the time you read this. The
pictures together with some descriptions, followed by excerpts from the
planning documents.I knew it as a NatWest Bank, but maybe this building's history starts <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_Bank" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

I am sticking these pictures and information in the Roads and artifacts blog. Maybe the Memorials blog could be the right place.... buts it's kind of abandoned - run down and sort of desolate. Many cemeteries of all creeds are. I believe that there is an ex-serviceman in here but I never found him.<br />
Next to Layton Institute - will it be flattened? - will it be saved? is the Jewish cemetery. I went school in a half Jewish area in Manchester so met many Jews and remained friendly for many years - at least until I moved to the Fylde. Certainly Carleton has many Jewish graves now. No idea when the last internment was - More research needed especially on Samuel Comor and perhaps the Jewish community.<br />
There is a memorial in the synagogue.<br />

This excerpt comes from here: <cite>www.lancashire.gov.uk/.../KirkhamComplete_LowRes.pdf </cite><br />
<br />
<cite style="background-color: #ffe599;"> </cite><span style="background-color: #ffe599;">Dowbridge was known as Galebridge in the medieval period, and was one of four bridges taking roads into Kirkham. It is first mentioned around 1268 in a charter for Cockersands Abbey as Dalebrigehevet (Farrer 1898). It is called Dale Brigge in a lease for c1279 (LSMR 1374). The bridge is likely to have always been wooden, as it was still recorded as made of wood up to the mid-nineteenth century (OS 1847 1:10,560). There was also a cross in Dowbridge documented in 1558. It marked the end of the Abbey lands on the east side of Kirkham. The site is still marked by a modern Latin cross of stone 1.55 metres high (LSMR 1375). Tarnbrick Cross (LSMR 1636), mentioned in the same agreement, stood near Tarnbrick Farmhouse and marked the western end of Abbey Lands, and the <a href="http://roadmarkers.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/dowbridge-cross-at-kirkham.html" target="_blank">Headless Cross</a> marked the southern boundary (LSMR 1376).</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;">These latter two crosses lay outside the defined urban area for Kirkham.</span><br />

<br />
All that's left are further comments: the cross seems to be completely ignored, whether there is a pedestal in there beneath the "new" Latin cross is difficult to know. The fact that some fairly new damage has been done does not bode well for the future. I feel that this artifact(parts of) that may well date back 500 years is of concern. There are road signs and clear road works close to it. The definition held by English Heritage no longer matches the description of this cross.<br />

Well quite a lot of debate about the antiquity of this well - and indeed
these <a href="http://www.halikeld.f9.co.uk/holywells/north/lasting1.htm" target="_blank">Yorkshire wells</a>. Looking at the architecture it does seem rather
unlikely that any part of them dates back before 1800 at all (The guess
is all mine). For me the significant thing is that there is a well at
all and it does highlight the village of Lastingham. Unfortunately I did
not realise there were 3 wells at Lastingham and I only found the one.
However St Cedd is indeed a very real and significant person in the
history of early Christianity.<br />
A link to the <a href="http://jol-datastore.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/lastingham.html" target="_blank">datastore</a> for the church is here. I features many items of interest which predate these wells.</div>

There are some comments about the validity of the Latin in the above website. The stone is dated approx 500 AD. The Romans had left Britain then. There influence was huge - but it seems that the inscription had been largely Celtic.</div>

There are 2 interesting objects next to each other.<br />
The first object is a cross base situated within the grounds of St Thomas' church in Church street , Garstang.<br />
<br />
Little to say about this except that the 2 parts actually do look like they belong together. The base has also had the corners chamfered as well as the shaft. <br />
