Footpath and cycle path to Morecambe
Looking along the shared footpath and cycle path towards Morecambe. The smear on the top left of the photo was caused by rain falling on the lens of my camera. The persistent rain perhaps meant the path was less busy than normal.

Ryelands Road - Lancaster
Seen here is a part of Ryelands Road that was known as the 'Bull Ring' because the road in this area of the 1930s Council Estate was oval. Quite a number of the houses have been demolished giving parts of Ryelands Estate open areas in a radical plan of recent years. The junction on the left is the cul-de-sac of Artle Place, which is named after Artle Beck in the Lune valley. Artle Beck flows into the south bank of the River Lune four and one fifth of a mile east as the crow flies, near the village of Caton. Indeed I was happy to discover as a boy that the place names on Ryelands were named after beautiful valleys and fells etc in NW Lancashire. Wonderful places that I would visit on my push bike in late boyhood and early teens.

Ancient steps Khyber pass to Wenning Place - Ryelands
Ancient steps? Well not exactly ancient but old. These concrete steps connect the public right of way of 'Khyber Pass' (generations have given the path this local name) at the bottom with Wenning Place at the top. They were built in the 1930s when Ryelands Council Estate was constructed. Most of the hollow metal bannisters have gone apart from some remnants at the top. As children we would use these hollow railings as telephones to speak to each other top and bottom. Now one can only make short calls!
