Moor Park
High pressure conditions have created a bleak grey day in Preston, with no sign of the sun at all, but there is still some autumn colour in Moor Park at the end of November.

Jeremiah Horrocks Observatory, Moor Park
This observatory in the north-west part of Moor Park was designed by George James Gibbs, at the time the honorary curator of Preston Municipal Observatory, and officially opened in 1927 to coincide with a total eclipse of the sun. It was named after Jeremiah Horrocks, a 17th century English astronomer who was the first person to show that the Moon orbited around the Earth in an elliptical pattern. Today the building belongs to the University of Central Lancashire although light pollution prevents it from being used for serious astronomy.

Tennis court in Moor Park
This public tennis court has been fitted with a vandal-proof and weather-resistant steel net. We are unlikely to see these at Wimbledon anytime soon, but in a location like this it makes a great deal of sense. Beyond the court is the Jeremiah Horrocks Observatory.
