      Well done SDQ, and also Yorkie for the area. While we were there we also visited the Portland Basin Museum which is well worth a visit for the local area history. Also we noticed while on the Manchester Ring Road a chimney on an old mill with "TUDNO" painted on it. Apparently, (according to Google) it was an old cotton mill, (Ryland NO.3), but is now a biscuit factory, but where did "TUDNO" come from in this area? (not a quiz question, just curiosity!)

Can anyone recognize the tower on the right?

I'm sure someone will give it a shot.

It's the one Fred Dibnah didn't knock down!   :D

My wild, or not so wild guess, is Chester Shot Tower.   ZXZ

Bit of luck there as I wasn't too sure of the river, and there was quite a few to choose from.   :D

     I had a day out yesterday and came upon these four little urchins peering round street corners. Where was I?

Was that trip with Voel Coaches Gwynant?   It sounds like a nice day out.   $good$

           Yes Hugo it was, we use them occasionally as they go to some interesting places and the day trips are very reasonable. We have to travel to Abergele to get picked up, but you don't have to worry about driving,  parking, finding your way around to the car parks etc., and on Tuesday we were met by the Ashton-u-Lyne Marketing manager who gave everyone a nice linen "Goodie Bag" with lots of offers, vouchers for the shops and restaurants as a bonus! The one for the "eat-in" Fish,Chips and mushy peas with free tea and bread and butter for £4.20 was especially welcome and one of the best fish I had tasted in years.
