More about this scene

This tall limestone pillar stands above the quarries on Leckhampton Hill, not far from Cheltenham. Much of the stone for the spa town came from this area, and the Devil's Chimney is probably a result of quarrying as well as erosion. There are wonderful views from here across the plain of the River Severn.

My grandparents Annie Holland and Alfred John Heeks became engaged to be married at this spot. Both from Cheltenham, they were soon after married and emmigrated to Canada and settled in Manitoba, then finally in Alberta. My grandmother had so many wonderful stories about growing up there.
