Cut bench mark, house on Cove Road
At an altitude of 23.273m asl. I must have walked past this dozens of times without spotting it due probably to the covering of algae.

Commemorative gate, Cove Road, Silverdale
Carved along the top bar: 'Cherry Champion', 'Madrigal Champion Filly' and 'Warwick Royal 1931'. Internet research suggests that the Royal Agricultural Show was held at Warwick Castle in 1931 so I would imagine these are the names of animals (horses?) which may have won prizes there.

Entrance drive, Cove House, Silverdale
Now a retirement home, Cove House was once owned by the Reverend Carus Wilson, Vicar of Tunstall, Whittington and Casterton, as a holiday home. He established the school at Cowan Bridge (1842) attended by several of the Brontë sisters. They may possibly have visited Silverdale although there is no evidence of this. Elizabeth Gaskell used to spend summers at nearby Lindeth Tower http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/828604 and Charlotte Brontë was a friend so the literary connections may not be too tenuous.

Inman's road
There are a whole network of paths in Eaves Wood, busy with dog walkers (I don't think we met anyone without at least one canine companion). Most are not rights of way, but this one along the southern edge is a public footpath, named on the OS Map as Inman's road, skirting south of King William's Hill in what is now a nature reserve.
