Canal Walking Group – May
We walked from Whitebirk Bridge to Riley Marina on Thursday May 25th.
Take 15 intrepid canal walkers, a canal through downtown Blackburn and a very hot sunny day and you have a surprisingly green and pleasant walk. We started on a round about at Whitebirk, on the east side of the former cotton town of Blackburn, with the warning that this would be quite an “industrial” walk. Quickly we saw our first large former cotton mill called Imperial designed by Sidney Stott in 1902. It was a bit ‘down at heel’ but the more observant members noticed that it was still in use with a variety of users. A little further on was Daiseyfield Mill much restored as offices for Granada(?)
Easy riders – Beryl’s big birthday
On Monday May 22nd a group of 9 members of the Easy Riders Joined with Beryl and John for lunch at Miller and Carters, Aughton.
a most enjoyable lunch was shared and a Birthday cake presented, which we promptly helped her to eat, along with jugs of cream provided by the extreemly helpfull staff.
I think the photos amply illustrate our total enjoyment.
Our very best wishes go to Beryl and Also to John, our leader. who very shortly will also enjoy his Big one.
