Silkstone Common behind

prettier than windmills?

Emley Moor tower

a first glimpse of Cannon Hall

Cannon Hall - 'Ha Ha' in front (stone barrier and ditch to keep deer out of Hall's immediate gardens - usually not seen when looking out from the house)

Cawthorne church - All Saints

apparently not Physalis Peruviana - yellow Cape Gooseberries

Silkstone Waggonway - short rails span only from stone sleeper to sleeper. They have circular ends enabling setting gradual bends in the track

descendant of an underground pit pony?
