Two walks on a lovely day.
Looking back towards White Coppice from the path to Waterman's Cottage
The Goit - taken from the bridge in the next photo
This bridge spans the Goit half way between Coppice and Waterman's Cottage
The track back to White Coppice
Looking up the overflow that comes from Grange Water
This is an old track bed from long closed quarry workings
Looking up Grange Water (Dean Black Brook on recent OS maps) towards the moors
White Coppice
The end house across the lodge is Hillside - where my grandparents (and parents for a short time) lived
The ridge in the distance is Stronsey Bank. This photo was taken from the embankment of No 6 lodge
Another view across No 6 lodge
These cottages are seen when leaving White Coppice

Final shot of Waterman's Cottage
Later the same day I took a short walk around Wheelton
Wheelton Memorial Clock Tower
Narrow boats at Wheelton Boat Club
This is one of the locks between The Top Lock and Town Lane
Looking back to the Top Lock
Several of the locks are visible here.
After leaving the canal, a short walk over South Hill brings you to the playing Fields of St Chads, with its nice view to St Barnabas Church
And arriving back in Wheelton the statue of the Red Lion on the pub of its namesake waits to greet you
