Willow Beck

Image: © Bob Embleton Taken: 2 Jul 2010

Taken from the Springwell Lane bridge. Close to its confluence with the Sun Beck which runs under the town centre. The meadow land appears to be unused now, but used to have cows grazing here in my childhood (1950s and 1960s). This was one of my favourite play areas. I once saw a water vole cross the beck.
