Christmas and New Year engineering works caused the diversion of some WCML freights and other workings over the North Staffs line through Congleton.
Freightliner Class 66/9 No. 66951 passes Mow Cop after sunset working 4L49, the 15:18 Trafford Park – London Gateway intermodal on 2 January 2025.
Another place I haven't been too for a while, no dramatic sky, no fabulous sunrise/sunset, just a rare ray of sunshine breaking through the grey.
Not a real castle, it was originally built as a summerhouse and point of interest by the Wilbraham family at Rode Hall.
Viewing the curve of the Earth as you make the descent from the top of Mow Cop Castle, a 65ft rock feature called the Old Man O'Mow.
This is my view as I drive down from The National Trust car park at the castle. On a good clear day you can see for over 40 miles. The welsh hills can be seen in the haze to the left.
Essa bela árvore apresenta outros nomes populares, sendo conhecida também como pinheiro-do-paraná, curi, pinheiro-brasileiro e pinho-do-paraná.
A Araucária pode atingir uma altura de até 50 metros e, quando adulta, apresenta uma copa que possui formato semelhante a uma taça. Seu tronco é reto e com ramificações apenas na região do topo. As folhas do tipo agulha (acÃculas) apresentam coloração verde-escura e não caem durante o inverno.
Essa espécie vive cerca de 200 anos, sendo que a produção de sementes inicia-se após o vigésimo ano em habitat natural. Essa árvore nativa do Brasil foi, por muitos anos, alvo da exploração indiscriminada e, por isso, hoje é considerada uma espécie ameaçada de extinção.

Mow Cop is an isolated village which straddles the Cheshire–Staffordshire border. The name is first recorded as "Mowel" around 1270 AD, and is believed to be derived from either the Anglo-Saxon Mūga-hyll, meaning "heap-hill", with copp = "head" added later, or the Common Celtic ancestor of Welsh moel (= hill), with Anglo-Saxon copp added later.
At the village's summit, men once quarried stone to make into querns, used since the Iron Age for milling corn; this trade ended during the Victorian period. The village also has a long history of coal mining. A 65ft rock feature called the Old Man O'Mow sits in one of the quarry areas and is believed to be the site of an ancient cairn. The most dominant feature is Mow Cop Castle which is a folly of a ruined castle at the summit of the hill, built in 1754. Both Mow Cop and Old Man O'Mow are under the management of the National Trust and sit on the walking route of the Gritstone Trail.
