Delamere Forest postcard, c1910 Sticking with an Autumnal feel, this wonderful #postcard by S. Hildesheimer & Co Ltd gives a view of Vale Royal, Delamere Forest. No artist named, the original is likely to be an oil painting! #Cheshire #postcards #autumn #DelamereForest

It's tree planting time. Get ready for lots of tree-mendous updates! As part of Trees for Climate, with help from volunteers, we planted out approx. 1000 trees, forming a woodland block (reinstating woodland appearing on maps from 1800), a hedgerow & small copses on private land.

Now transformed, since 1990, with light (and happily allowing archaeologists in to produce this fascinating report). All life was here from Roman guard house to Victorian pharmacy. 2/2

For #Rowvember 16 a celebration! Not just that this beautiful building has been rescued so wonderfully, but with it the sense of optimism that comes with something new.
The 1829 facade finally revealed. How beautiful does it look? Waiting for the finishing touches to the blue and white walkway ceiling and then it's all done. A fantastic job. ❤️
