Sluice gates off River Gowy These sluice gates lead to Mill Brook. I've not looked into how long ago the channel was dug, but it is present on the original 1860s OS map of this area. The mill it served - Stanney Flour Mill - was around two miles away, so it must have been quite an undertaking - either the mill owners were very optimistic, or just very sure of making a profit. The big mill is no more, but maps still show a 'Stanney Mill Bridge' North of here, at the Western edge of Stanlow oil refinery. The picture was taken just North of a footpath which forms part of the North Cheshire Way, a 70-mile trail leading from Ellesmere Port to the Peak District created by the council about 15 years back. Just to the South was one of many already slightly-dilapidated small bridges crossing the network of straight channels that criss-cross these fields, obscured by brambles. There have been bridges here for a long time though - that first OS map shows a track following the same route as the modern trail from the obscured bridge to the point at which it reaches the road North of Picton. It is hard to know for sure whether the numerous water channels are drainage ditches leading to, or overflow channels leading from the River Gowy, to minimise flooding. Or a bit of both.

Hill Farm outbuilding, Picton Picton is a very small place with lots of very big buildings. Both the farms and houses all seem to be a bit bigger than the norm, though there is a fair bit of building going on at the moment, which looks like it will bring the average building size down a little. The farm name on the map looks quite odd; this is very low-lying ground and the farm's altitude can't be much more than 15 metres. However, everything is relative, and it is definitely close to the top of the local high point. The windowless windows in the outbuilding are nice and quirky. Presumably there are no windows as stuff was brought up and down through them once upon a time.
