201 Sunday 14th January 2024 Rochdale Canal towpath : Hebden Bridge to Sowerby Bridge

Image
 Having  got  the  bit  between  his  teeth, Simon  wanted to finish  the  towpath  with  the  final  section  into  Sowerby  Bridge.. This  was  a  direct  repeat  of  a  trip  from  the  classic  era  in  January 1980.  We  drove  to  Hebden Bridge, stopping  at  Nutty's  Butty's  along  the  way. We  parked  at  Hebden  Bridge  station. We  picked  up  where  we  left  off , spotting  a  Beatles  fan  moored  up  there. Where  you  have  to  cross  the  main  road  to  rejoin  the  towpath  between Hebden  Bridge  and  Mytholmroyd , there's  now  a  droll  sign. There's  now  some  fancy  ca...

 Simon  wanted  to  bring  Josh  along  for  his  trip. The  weather looked  a  bit  iffy  so  I  suggested  we  visit  the  Urbis  National Football Museum  in  Manchester. We  took  a  rail replacement  bus  into  Bolton and  picked  up  a  train  to  Manchester  there. We went  to Subway for  some  lunch  first We then  went  to  the  museum. One  of  the  first  exhibits we  noted  was  George  Best's  mini. We  all  posed  around  the  Premiership  Trophy. This  exhibit  caught  our  attention. I'm not sure  why  this  old  England  shirt  caught  their  attention. Simon  and  Josh  had  a  go  at  ...

244 Sunday November 24th 2024 Stockport Record Fair

Image
 There wasn't much doubt Simon would choose this option when I put it on the "menu" . We caught the train  to  Stockport , making the last  leg of the  journey on a Pendolino train. We  had  lunch at a Wetherspoon's before making our way  to the  record  fair  in  the  Guildhall. It  looked like a  failed mission but Simon found  something at the last minute. We  called in at  the  War  Memorial Art Gallery  which  was  on  the  way  back to  the  station. The  exhibit was  a  sries  of  townscapes  such  as  this  one  of  the  viaduct. The  war  memorial itself  takes  centre  stage  in  the  building. Simon liked this  one. Pity she  was a Stockport fan. This  was  the  view  to  the  town hall from the steps...
