Alan, the main part of that was always earmarked for commercial redevelopment since the days of WDC. I know Banks had wanted to build 300 odd hosues there but that scheme never got off the ground.

Aye, I've just got back to being able to access the forum hassle free, thanks to Andy!

He opens it by himself CL, after taking the suet cake from the end section, but he didn't go in for that.

Sorry! way to big for posting

Merry Xmas - 2018 - a chimney is cleaned oot :-

Scribbleyjack eggs. The name scribbleyjack maybe a local name and I've known it since I understood words. It's easy to understand why its called a scribbleyjack by the patterns on the eggs. I found many nests when I was a youth, sadly there are not many to find now. When farming practices altered and the stubble was ploughed in and sown before winter the birds couldn't glean the stubbles over winter so starved. Many other birds suffered because of the autumn sowing including Linnets and Skylarks.
