Stop Smoking Bus

The "First Stop Health Bus" was parked on the Asda supermarket car park last week.

According to The First Stop Health Bus website it is a NHS Greater Manchester initiative which takes NHS services out of traditional settings and in to the heart of the community. It offers stop smoking advice and support via a range of methods as well as a range of health checks.

Shadows around the Duke of Sussex

It was a sunny day a few weeks ago when I was passing the Duke of Sussex on the corner of Ashton Road and Victoria Street.

The traffic lights on the corner were spreading a shadow across the road and the white building showed off several more shadows.

Kite-flying on Werneth Low

A couple of evenings ago we had a thunderstorm coupled with hailstones.

An hour later though and the sky had brightened up. I looked out and saw something in the air near the Hare and Hounds on Werneth Low about two kilometres away.

I leaned out of the window and zoomed in on the scene. I only saw this clearly after I'd uploaded the photograph to the computer.

The houses in the foreground are at the top of Lord Derby Road about a kilometre distant.

Roadsign at the end of Dowson Road

The roadsign at the end of Dowson Road, the A627 from Stockport, directs all but local traffic left.

The factory on the left had its roof and insides refurbished in 2011 - see Factory refurbishment, but still remains empty and unused.

ABC Wednesday: R is for Roofs

The roofs of textile factories viewed from the Clarendon viaduct.

I believe these were originally dye works but what work still goes on here, I'm not at all sure.
