Hallas Bridge

Lovely change today from yesterday’s grey.
Bright and sunny though pretty blowy with a warm wind.
We decided to walk up Goit Stock to take a look at the Beck and waterfalls. We knew the water levels would have gone down since the weekend but still worth taking a look. (Wilsden Walker blipped it yesterday)
En route we bumped into 3 bus pass walkers who seemed to have lost their bus!
The path to the waterfall can be inundated when the water is high but it wasn’t too bad with nowhere too difficult to pass.
Decided to continue past the waterfalls to Hallas Bridge seen here in my blip, where we continued up Hallas Lane (past my childhood home) and into Cullingworth.
I liked the angle of this shot looking down the hill to the bridge and also the obvious litter of fallen Autumn leaves but the trees still showing an almost spring like green.
We stopped for coffee at Spoons in Cullingworth and then walked back home via the ‘Chimney’ field. Lovely views from here over to Baildon Moor. The chimney was from the mill here that was powered by Hallas Beck in this valley and later became a venue for tea dances! I have a painting of this scene done by my grandmother’s uncle as a wedding present in 1913, showing the same view and the mill building in the valley bottom.
That warm wind is now blowing and, hopefully, drying a couple of pairs jeans out on the washing line.
