Photograph, of our snowy village bowling green, it was taken on our daily morning walk through the village heading towards Cowbury Dale. Lockdown three restricts our ability to go much further than is required for exercise – unless you selfishly choose to do so. Fortunately we are blessed with fantastic views and walks around our village of Carrbrook.
Bowling green station. One of the two still standing Station headhouse dates to 1904.
Bowling Green was a significant cultural site before Europeans arrived. Once was residence for the chief of the Leni Lenape Native tribe at the southern end of the Wickquasgeck trail, now called by its modern name Broadway. Hence why it's non straight course north through Manhattan.
I spent a pleasant couple of hours walking around Stamford Park with my camera – having last visited here about five years ago!
Stamford Park lies on the boundary between Ashton and Stalybridge. In 1865, local mill owner Abel Harrison died and his home, Highfield House, and its extensive grounds, on the border between Ashton and Stalybridge, were bought by the two towns. Neighbouring land was donated by the Earl of Stamford and the whole area was landscaped to become Stamford Park. The former mill reservoir known as Chadwick Dams was incorporated into the park in 1891. The reservoir was divided in two by an embankment, with the southern section becoming the present boating lake. The park now includes tennis courts, putting and bowling greens, an aviary with a variety of birds, a children's playground and paddling pool.
Bowling night last week. Hell, I have no clue in bowling. Just got invited by my bowling superstar friend, Bet! Ended up moving over to the other side of the bowling place and played pool aka billiards. Tons of fun being tutored by Reg and Ish. Hyuk hyuk. I'ma nerd. :P
Reminds me of The Goofy Movie. Hmm. Rofl. I love that movie.
And can you guys believe I've NEVER watched The Titanic in my whole 14 years of living! :o :o Crazy.
Happy Bokeh Wednesday Hangover! Advanced TGIF. Can't wait for the weekend!

Bowling was so popular in the 1950s and 60s that the Immaculate Conception Church decided to get in on the bowling action by opening an alley of its own. As the popularity began to wane and bowling venues shut down, ICC kept its open despite some questioning whether it was worth the cost to maintain especially after it abandoned league play around 2010.
