Autumn picnic

A small picnic site that is very popular in good weather here on the edge of Dovestones reservoir in Saddleworth. This area was in fact the site of the old ‘Ashway Gap House’ known as the castle, built around 1850 and demolished circa 1980.

Enjoy full screen.
Have a great day.

Herb Riddle replied to TOZ:

Glad you liked this one. I was surprised that despite the number of photos from Dovestones on here, I had not got this shot. Ashway Gap house ~ I loved that house as a kid and teenager and we always regarded it as our local castle. I even went inside to explore once it was empty and had no doors nor windows. I took a few photos with my old camera using slides. Glad you liked both this and the oldie too. The 7500 seems fine to me.

Cheers. Herb
