These photos were taken last weekend and the telegraph poles stretch out across the field which skirts the top of Gollinrod Gorge. From the burnt tree you can see Ramsbottom and the hills beyond and also take the steep path down into the gorge.
It was probably the wrong time of day to be taking shots down here as very little sunlight was reaching the Irwell. At one point alongside the river there are some huge, overgrown walls which look like they were once the sides of channels used to divert and hold water. If so, they probably fed the nearby mill.
Hello.
Firstly, I commend you on the quality of images that you have taken.
I hope that you dont mind me writing here with my query.
Me and my girfriend am due to leave university in july, and are keen got on the lookout for a good location to buy a property.
We both like walks in the woods and the countryside, and like the idea of living within a village setting. But are also aware that it would be inconvenient not to live within good commuting distance of places we are likely to work once qualified; Bolton, Bury, Manchester, etc... (I am trainging as a social worker, and my girlfriend; a nurse).
I was very happy to come across your page, as while I was looking at houses prices/locations on the internet, I came across a property for sale on nearby 'India Street.
From the pictures above and the location, Summerseat seemes a perfect.
Seeminlgy a man with great interest in North West/Lancashire villages; I wonder if you could comment on the location specified (in regard to my expressed interests and possible need to commute) and/or inform me of any other locations that may suit me better.
Thankyou.
Aaron.
