POLITE NOTICE: if you have to park outside the marked bays at the station, please be mindful that large vehicles with wide loads frequently need access to the compound there. We would hate to see any vehicles get damaged because there was little or no room for them to pass or turn around

Well look who went and got third place scarecrow! ( hope England do the same tomorrow!) pretty chuffed since it was our first attempt, though we think Norman will be glad to get out of the sun soon! Wonder what next year’s theme will be and if we can rise to the challenge?!

Also just look at these magnificent chicory and teasel plants that have matured in the Peter Townsend memorial beds this year

Say hello to Northern Norman. He’s a keen walker about to embark on the Bamford/Hope leg of the Steel/Cotton trail. Feel free to sit next to him, he’s not much of a conversationalist, but doesn’t mind if you want a selfie with him. (First time FoBS has made a carnival scarecrow so be kind to us!)
