City Wall Cycle Lady
© Rod Burkey (view gallery)
Was walking along the Chester City Wall and this lady appeared pushing her bike in a most determined way. Converted the image to sepia as I thought it added a little, plus the vignette. Taken in 2008 but I think it has a slightly timeless feel.

To mark the centenary of his birth, Carroll enthusiasts from all over the world subscribed to a memorial fund, which resulted in a gift to All Saints' of this striking and unusual stained glass window, dedicated in 1935. Lewis Carroll and Alice can be seen in the left hand panel and in the panels below are some of the characters from 'Alice in Wonderland'.

A good reason to stop here at the Royal Oak Swing Bridge near Oakgrove, is to walk across to the Fools Nook public house.

The Fools Nook public house.
© Patrick Hogan (view gallery)
Took this at the request of Cathy, the food is very good. First opened in the late 1820’s as The Royal Oak during the building of the Macclesfield Canal. It was created from cottages already on the site. During this period navvies and engineers will have sought refreshment, along with the navigator of the canal Thomas Telford. A mooring known as Fools Nook wharf, was built opposite the pub to load onto barges stone that had been mined in the hills of the surrounding area. This stone was brought down to the wharf by traction engines and was weighed right outside the pub. With this continued popularity of the pub the original cottages which formed the pub were demolished around 1839 and the purpose built pub was built re-opening around 1841. In 1962 the Royal Oak was purchased by Higson’s Brewery of Liverpool. In the December of 1962 the name was changed to The Fools Nook Inn.
