Jodrell Bank Radio Telescope Standing in front of the visitors centre looking west at the radio telescope. If you visit don't miss  the arboretum; it's beautifully landscaped and a place of complete tranquillity.

The Mark II Telescope The 25 x 28 metre "Mark II" telescope at Jodrell Bank. Despite its odd shape, representing something of a giant, deformed Pringle, the Mark II is routinely used either as a single telescope, or as part of the MERLIN or VLBI collaborations, which use telescopes over middle England (for MERLIN) or the entire globe (for VLBI) to get very high-resolution radio images of the cosmos.

Dingle Bank Sand Quarry Situated south of Chelford, here we see a conveyor (marked on the OS 1/50,000 map) leading into the distance from just north of Oakwood Farm to the works at SJ811717. It appears that part of the quarry has already been reclaimed. The quarry isn't marked on the 1940s OS map.
