The Corn Mill Clow in Butts in 1982, sadly neglected at the time. This dammed the beck to feed the head race for the Corn Mill dams.

One of the footbridges over the beck in Valley Gardens. I had noted that both the bridges were massive cast iron girders and after many years of nagging I established that they were originally the main structural members of the bridge over the railway on Rainhall Road that was taken out when the Pioneer Store was built.

During WW2 it was common to see cars with gas bags on the roof. These were filled with Town's Gas and provided fuel to run the car's engine. Could it ever happen again?
