This morning was so bright and sunny that we just had to get out and take advantage of the weather. We went past Mount Tabor and down a road which goes nowhere except past the popular Cat-i’th-well Inn.
We parked just before the Luddenden Dene Wesleyan Cemetery and walked along the narrow lane to the Cemetery where some orphans from Liverpool, brought over the hills to work in a local mill are buried. We visited the grave back in February 2010 and haven’t been back since.
One thing I hadn’t thought of before was the amount of room left on the stone for further burials.
It is a lovely spot with views across the valley. A shame that these children probably never got to enjoy the view.
At the other end of the Cemetery, where the modern burials take place, we found someone we had never heard of – though I wish we had known him as he sounds quite a character.
‘Sithee lata’ is our local dialect for ‘See you later’.
A Google later and I found that he was just known as Malcolm Lund of Wainstalls and died 31st March 2011. He left 6 children and a partner but I can’t find out anything else about him. If anyone knows more, I’d love to hear from you.
We walked on and I’ll just share some of the beauty with you – it doesn’t need words.
The last of the blackberries
A woodpecker lives here.
And home for lunch.
