The Cupola Flue on Grassington Moor Yorkshire

Grassington Moor

This old flue winds up the moorland for a mile or so. It went from the smelt mill on Grassington moor to the chimney, but the lead mines shut 160 years ago so it is no longer used. Children were employed to crawl up the hot flue and sweep the lead deposits from the sides, the deposits mixed with arsenic and other poisons would hasten an early death.

Her Excellency

Her Excellency, Governor Abigail Spanberger, the 75th, and First Woman, Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia! I was pretty happy that my Samsung Galaxy captured a decent shot. As at certain sporting events, security measures prevented me bringing my camera inside the gates.
