#FingerpostFriday near Slaidburn, Forest of Bowland.
With war memorial.
Lichen covered fingerpost with illegible pointers except for the word Dunsop. Gravestone lists various air force personnel from UK, New Zealand, USA and Poland killed in the local area during 1940-45.

I come from the Nutters of Pendle on my Dad’s side. It was great exploring the heritage with a Slaidburn Scally (watch out Betty’s)

St. Andrew, Slaidburn in Lancashire is notable for the high quality of its woodwork. The chancel screen dates from the 1630's and is highly decorated.

Cross of Greet: Situated on the Lythe Fell Road between Slaidburn (9.8 kms) and Bentham Great Stone of Fourstones (6.4kms). A "cross" supposedly used to stand on the site, but this is debated, some believing it to be a "Plague Stone". 📷 JuanBurro More: http://www.megalithi...

A collection of #stiles for #SaturdayStiles from yesterday's @slowwaysuk.bsky.social walk between Bentham and Slaidburn. Mostly almost invisible stone step through style.
Stone steps through a stone wall with a small wooden gate. Stone steps through a stone wall onto a road with a fingerpost. Stone steps through a stone wall with cows in the distance. Stone steps through a stone wall with a big mossy tree trunk next to it.

Not a bad 24 hours on the bike. Customary pics of my bike leaning against things.
At Caton where my route left the Ribble and headed for the hills. Hornby Road on Salter Fell, looking towards Slaidburn. Is Hornby Road England's longest unbroken gravel road? Hornby Road again. Looking back the way I've come, towards Roeburndale. Last night's bivi spot, near a shooting hut about 7km out of Slaidburn.

This walk from Slaidburn in #Lancashire is a combination of clear broad tracks and open moorland. With good visibility, you get great views. The route follows part of the Whitendale River with a good chance of seeing various birds of prey. Details at www.happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/Lanc...

Many of the buildings we record are of a more modest nature but now and again we take on the challenge of a larger, higher status, building! Here are some of the grander houses we have recorded over the years: Ingleby Manor, Knedlington Old Hall, Well Hall, and Hammerton Hall.

Slaidburn for second breakfast.

"Hark to Bounty" shut. ☹
Jubilee tap dry. ☹
YHA still open. 🙂
Memorial to the crews of several aircraft, crashing during WWII. Located at the head of the metalled road from Slaidburn before it joins Hornby Road. Slaidburn's striking war memorial. Impressive for such a small place. Slaidburn's jubilee water trough and tap. Sadly the tap was dry. As was the pub, "Hark to Bounty". "To Let" boards outside. Second breakfast prep at Slaidburn.

The Salter Fell Road or Hornby Road across the Forest of Bowland from a new @slowwaysuk.bsky.social route between High Bentham and Slaidburn, #Lancashire. A fantastic, remote 8 mile gravel road, loved by Alfred Wainwright apparently.

Damn, no, just realised that Slaidburn is in t'Occupied West Riding, not Lancashire!

From today. Descending from Salter Fell, Slaidburn, Bell Busk, Gargrave and home via Leeds-Liverpool canal. #1
Sunrise from my bivi spot. Woken by chilliness, grouse, geese and gulls. Quite an insistent "dawn chorus". Poem, by Carole Ann Duffy, on a "tercet" waymarker commemorating the journey taken by the Pendle witches to face trial in Lancaster. This is on the descent of Hornby Road about 5km outside Slaidburn. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancashire_Witches_Walk "Tercet" waymarker commemorating the journey taken by the Pendle witches to face trial in Lancaster.

Step stile. Pain Hill Farm, Slaidburn.
A black and white infrared image of the junction of 3 drystone walls with a step stile and a gateway in the walls. In the background is a leafless Sycamore tree. The sky is grey and cold looking. The grass glows whitish, as if covered with snow, due to the infrared light.

My favourite portrait of a fisherman.
Gilbert Earnshaw, who died aged 80 in 1921. Water bailiff on the Croasdale Beck in Slaidburn, UK. Photographed circa. 1910.

#photography #historic #fishing #fisherman
A sepia toned photo of a bearded old man in a open crown hat, wearing a corduroy jacket sat on the banks of a river. He has a 2lb (1kg) trout on his lap and a basketwork creel overflowing with smaller fish next to him. He is unhooking another fish from his cast. A rod and landing net rest on his legs. A fishing fly is hooked in his hat-band.
