It's not a castle or a house, or even a ruin. It's the southernmost outcrop in Cheshire of hard sandstone grit, rising 355m above sea level. At its highest point stands a mock tower that was built as a summer house in 1754 by Randle Wilbraham, the local Lord of the Manor. This tower is visible for miles around and is a major landmark visited throughout the year. Interestingly, it was the location for the first Primitive Methodist service in 1807.

 

It's a bit of a strange place with people going up there at all times of the day or night in all conditions, some for the most bizarre reasons. Drinks, drugs, weddings, prayers, sightseeing, sun and moon worship, it has been the setting for a few of my adventures in the past too. See my Mow Cop album!

 

Anyhow, this shot was a dud. Something has gone wildly wrong in my processing factory!!! Possibly caused by too much booze.

Cop 26 is over...progress or recalcitrance?

Not all motorcycle clubs have their own police officer, but we do.(Although he has now retired from the force). And as a driving instructor in the police and rescue service, for many years, we sometimes struggle to keep up with him. Both on the road and in the bar..He he.👍

Mow Cop Castle, in the care of The National Trust, England. This is number 11 for 12 months of the same image.

 

I've taken this with a fisheye lens for a more panoramic capture. You can see from this shot how the castle sits high up on a cliff edge, seen to the right.

 

It doesn't look it but it's blowing a hoolie up at the top!

The Folly of Mow Cop shot from a different angle that totally transforms the scene.

As you can see, there was a storm brewing over the Cheshire Plain and heading towards Mow Cop Castle. The blue skies are fast disappearing. I'm standing in sunny Staffordshire looking out over the county of Cheshire.

 

Wild flowers and a host of butterflies now greet you as you climb the hill to the top. Skippers, Meadow Browns, Gatekeepers and Small Whites today. The wild Thyme is out, smells gorgeous too...and the Bilberrys are growing nicely. I did a small walk up through the top of the village following the Gritstone Trail to the base of the castle. Got back to my car just as the heavens opened and it poured down. 2 hours later and we were back to sunshine again...oh we just love our English summers! :))))

 

Zoom in and you can plainly see (just to the left of the castle) the white dish of the famous Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank.

 

The most striking feature of the Lovell Telescope is the huge white bowl that can be seen for many miles around. This bowl, fashioned in the shape of a paraboloid, is the part of the telescope that gathers incoming radio waves and since 1957 it has been quietly probing the depths of space.

Here is Johnny's Silent cop NOT Copper!

 

A silent cop, also referred to as a "sleeping policeman" or a "traffic dome", is a traffic management device formerly widely used in Australia. It consisted of a metal or concrete dome, about 400 mm (16 in) wide and about 125 mm (5 in) tall, embedded in the road surface. They were usually painted yellow and often decorated with retro-reflective glass beads or "cats eyes". The name has its origins from the Northern Beaches area of Sydney and was derived from the early days of motoring when policemen would be deployed at busy street corners to direct traffic, before traffic signals became widespread.

 

Silent cops were placed in the middle of street intersections at cross roads, and turning drivers were expected to drive around one, keeping it to the right of the vehicle when turning right or left. They were also placed in the centre of the terminating street at T-intersections to force drivers turning in or out of the street to be on the correct side of the road rather than cut the corner.

 

The use of "silent cops" has been phased out in Australia, due to changes in the recommended method of performing turns (the introduction of the diamond turn at signalised intersections), and the hazard they posed to motorcyclists and pedestrians.
