Balloon passing over the Wharncliffe Street/Lord Street area of Hindley. Mid 1980s. A little close for comfort...

A little close for comfort! It's a Hot Air Balloon not a flaming Zeppelin. Lol

I'm glad it weren't a Zeppelin. Mind you it only just missed our house and the basket underneath would have caved our roof in! I'll upload another pic to show how close we came to having more than a new telly aerial!

Thats the bloody one !! It ended up landin in Abram, I remember it so much clearer now I've seen a pic of it.
