More about this scene

The view across the water meadows is undoubtedly the best aspect for John Higgins's erstwhile home. It takes but a little imagination to people the parkland with yeoman and gentry; ladies in muslins 'enduring' the heat of a summer's day and children floating rudimentary craft on the water while dipping their toes.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I remember fishing for endless hours just about the spot shown in the photograph. There were many perch there and on one occasion I caught a fair sized pike. Just upstream from this location was a sort of peninsular accessed by climbing down steps set in the wall of Turvey Bridge. This was called Sam's Island for some reason. Brings back many happy memories of over half a century ago!!
