Aerial ropeway, Claughton Brickworks The bottom end and entry to the brickworks. The ropeway is not running today (jubilee holiday). A loaded bucket has been left hanging on the rope (on the left, see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7192023">SD5666 : Aerial ropeway, Claughton Brickworks</a>). Presumably this enables the ropeway to be restarted by gravity.

Lunesdale Court With jubilee bunting. Converted into separate housing units in the mid-1980s. Built in 1874 as the Lunesdale Union Workhouse, later known as Hornby Institution. In WW2 the building became a children's hostel which continued until 1953. Lunesdale Rural District Council then used the site for their offices and workshops, until the local government reorganisation in 1974.

Landscape near Eskrigge in Lancashire Some lush spring greenery here besides the lane towards Gressingham. The mountain in the distance is one of the Three Peaks - Ingleborough, I think.

Flood debris beside the Lune From the evidence here and in woodland on its edges, pretty much the whole width of the flood plain must have been submerged by several metres of water. Large logs have been stranded here by the floods of last month. Further upstream, the Loyn Bridge has been damaged and the cross-valley road closed between Hornby and Gressingham.
