"This might be of interest to you Hydonians.....Early 1980's panoramic picture of Cross Cliffe and Daisy Bank cottages at the bottom of Apethorn Lane. The picture was taken from the top of the now demolished Gee Cross Mill. Across the fields and in the distance you can just make out Pole Bank Hall. "
This unusual picture was taken by Karl Barlow.

Many Thanks, David and Karl .
Much Appreciated :)
Great view... I only wish I owned a camera back then... the amount of time I was on that roof... Once and only once me and Tony Collins went into the water tower and opened the trapdoor to the outside, the view was stunning... but very very scary.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see the fields and woods which I explored in my childhood... Thank you for bring back lots of happy memories of my sometimes mis-spent youth... ha!
Glad you liked it tom..spent alot of time in the mill taking pics in the 80's will dig them out might be of interest..I also went up the the tower brilliant view and yeh scary! sure i took some pics from up there..
