Photo-a-Day  (Friday, 25th July, 2025)

I noticed there were 3 last week, but now back down to 2.

Folks you heard it on WW first, biggest scoop since The Washington Post broke the News on Watergate. Not one but TWO caravans no less!

Mick, perhaps this photo should have been sent to the Council or whoever deals with the carpark ?

I’m not too enamoured by the location Mick but a a lovely clear picture of the green trees with a pastel blue sky contrasting nicely with the beige surface of the car park.

I used to park on this carpark when I went fishing but not anymore.

Yes WN6 it's all happening out there if you get out and about.
I've had it first hand that dog walkers, fishermen and Wiganers who want to have a jog along the towpath have now stopped using the carpark.
Colin my friend the car park was used as a yard by the contractor who did the resurfacing of the towpath so the carpark was redone at the same time.

He’ll be spying for Russia next..it’s hardly
Journalist of the Year stuff. It happens up and down the country.

What harm are they doing to many vindictive people can't mind own business

That is part of a Government scheme in which to house migrants rather than using hotels and boarding houses. The plan is to house them in caravans, like here on little used out of the way car parks. Trials are being carried out in selected locations across the UK, whilst intially using just a couple or so of caravans, then, if no objections, more shall be arriving and put to into use very soon.

I wouldn’t want to boost your ego too much Mick but if that car park was replaced by a shallow river and a Hay Wain you would have created your very own John Constable.

Join the canal at that point after coasting all the way almost from Haigh Hall.

They could belong to Arthur 'Two Caravans' Jackson? Or John 'Two Caravans' Prescott, only he's dead.

Rock n roll , John (westhoghton ) long may the wind flow with you on your rides !
We live in a highly constipated world of ridiculous and complex ideas but people like you fill me with joy !

Cheers Dave.
