Without a doubt Dennis,pity I didn’t see your comment about Holmfirth sooner last Sunday as I would’ve definitely visited the cafe.By the way how would I get to the Colliers Aspull by bus from Westhoughton now please.
Didn't Dave Whelan live there at one time?
Every time I drive past the lakes seem devoid of wild birds?
I like that Dennis, the way you have the house peeking round the corner at the view. Looks reakly good.
Dennis you will have course noticed the new 'in ' word I used...reakly...its all the rage & your really with it if you use it !
A hidden gem! Although we're almost in August, the photo puts me in mind of Wordsworth's "Daffodils"....."Beside the lake, beneath the trees". Nice photo, Dennis.
NO NO NO Frank, Dave Whelan never lived there, and the water is know as Wrightington fish ponds.
It's not very hidden our Irene if you turn your head as you go down that road.
Good photo Dennis,
according to what's written in the link, it was at one time the Calderbank family, though now it's the owner of Dorbcrest Homes who lives there:

It was also a nice bridge on the road over the lake too: https://www.wiganworld.co.uk/album/photo.php?opt=5&id=3998&gallery=Wrightington&page=1
