January 12, 201115 yr Author http://www.picturesofengland.com/England/Lancashire/Rivington/pictures/1079293 Can't be arsed looking through and doing everything for you but Google does actually work if you put the right stuff in! Searched high and low on Google, only found one daubed with graffiti "USSR We want houses not Polaris" from the early 70's and one from the 1880's in a PDF document showing the original doorway and chimney. Edit: Had a quick look at the site you posted and it has no photo's of relevance. Edit 2: Here's the pic. Edited January 12, 201115 yr by boothybwfc
January 12, 201115 yr Edit: Had a quick look at the site you posted and it has no photo's of relevance. No, I looked afterwards. I did, however, find a great pic of Winter Hill and the masts that has become my desktop picture. It doesn't matter where you've been; an away trip to London, Birmingham, North East, etc. or even a trip abroad, there's nothing like this picture to say "Nearly home!"
