Love the contrast and texture of it all. Remind me of something I would see on a hike in the mountains here.

Yes, it was fascinating to see the pylons and the terminus machinery still in place. Must have been a marvel to see it in operation, although by the sound of it this one would not have had all that much work to do.

Thank you so much Dezra. Tombstone tourism in the cemeteries of N.O. sounds like a taphophile’s dream!

Thanks Iain. Space creature, or mediaeval torture device?

Thanks Mark. It looks as if there is quite a bit of bracken around that area which probably grows taller and thicker later in the season. But, yes, at the moment it is easily reached.

I didn’t realise so much of the aerial ropeway was left intact, let alone standing. The last operating one was up at a brickworks in Lancaster but that closed last year I think, not sure if the ropeway is still there now.
