The View from Up Here.
Re: The View from Up Here.
This is 'the view from up here' from my bedroom balcony. A little different from your view Wendy but I'll swap you places if you like.
The hills are karst limestone and the one immediately to the right of the pagoda is over 2000' high. The range in the far background are up to about 4000' high.
As far as I know the pagoda has no significance.

Well that is something most of us wouldn't see from our bedroom balcony!
Do you go for walks up there?

I have been to the pagoda a couple of times but usually we go for walks around the bottom of the hills.Marilyn wrote:Well that is something most of us wouldn't see from our bedroom balcony!

You've got to remember we live in apartment blocks and balconies are nothing special. We don't have yards or gardens.Stanley wrote:I don't have a balcony......

That's quite a view Chinatyke, and thanks for the offer of a swap but I think I'll stick with mine for a bit longer!

Here's a pic of the dawn sky on 5th January 2014.
It's taken from our house looking towards Wendy's.

Re: The View from Up Here.
I almost did the same pic David. At one point it was even more spectacular than that looking South down Railway Street.

I'd have taken an earlier picture if I hadn't had to find fresh batteries to replace the dead ones in the camera...Stanley wrote:I almost did the same pic David. At one point it was even more spectacular than that looking South down Railway Street.
Re: The View from Up Here.
Lovely pic, David.
We haven't had many winter pics from yonder this Season.
They always make us feel very jealous as we swelter in the heat.
Have you had any snow at all?

Re: The View from Up Here.
Stargazing Live (TV programme) said a burst of solar wind was due to provide a spectacular show of northern lights just after midnight last night, visible from unusually southern latitudes. They gave advice on how to take a picture, but it was still heaving it down and I went to bed. Tonight's forecast is better...

Following Marilyn's comment...
Nothing to write home about, but here's a picture of Barlick I've just taken from our attic window.
Bankfield is in the foreground, with Crownest Mill chimney in the middle distance. Broken cloud at present, with mild temperature.

Re: The View from Up Here.
Don't knock it David. That's a view of the town that isn't seen very often. It must be almost exactly what Christopher Bracewell saw out of his window when he built Bank House..... I like it.

Re: The View from Up Here.
I love the view from our house. We can just see the top of Pendle peeping over the shoulder of Weets (when it's not raining...) and can also view Ingleborough (but only out of the attic window in winter when there are no leaves on the trees).
Here's the plan on the deeds of our house from when the family (my grandmother and her sisters) bought the land in March 1914.
Bank House stood proudly above what was to become the track to our house.

Re: The View from Up Here.
Thank you for posting this. I've been collecting history of that area for some time. Thanks to Stanley I've found a lot of information already but this explains a bit more. I used at live at The Limes, hence my interest. You probably know that in 1911 Proctor Barret and Christopher Bradley, both named on the map, lived at The Beeches and Highfield House and that James Slater lived at Bank Hall (House).

Re: The View from Up Here.
Fascinating map David. Straight into my archive. That area has always been a bit of a mystery and of course over the years suffered major revisions when the canal was put in. For Procter Barrett see the CHSC Minutes and for much of interest about the canal and its effects see the John Bagshawe article I've put up this morning because I can't find it in the site index.

Thanks Stanley. I've downloaded the John Bagshawe article. Where do I find the CHSC minutes?

Re: The View from Up Here.
How will 13/13/0600P planning permission affect that view?
Not that anyone is entitled to a view of course
The map also isn't quite clear about which of those trees are covered by the 70 odd TPO's, good job that the developer wants to try to keep them all?
