Wonderful stuff on Hurstwood Reservoir. You combine the lyrical eg Pic 4 with the more angular and fierce (eg Pic 10). For one who loves Hurstwood Reservoir in all its guises it it really appreciated. My nephew and his loved one were married in the chapel on 01 November 2008 and perhaps Pic 4 inspired: "Reflections are one offering of a reservoir."

Susan ..Colne 15/8/08 - 15/08/2008

Another set of beautiful photographs Got into looking at your site through Clarets Mad UTC

EDWIN R. ASTIN CALIFORNIA - 12/07/2008

HEY THOSE ARE REALLY BEAUTIFUL PICTURES OF CLOWBRIDGE. BACK IN THE TWENTIES MY MOTHER USED TO VISIT ONE OF THE TENANTS OF THOSE HOUSES. WHEN WE STAYED OVERNIGHT I WAS SCARED TO DEATH BY THE STORIES THE OLD LADY TOLD OF HER DEAD HUSBAND MAKING NOCTURNAL VISITS TO HER. HE WAS KILLED BY A BUS OUTSIDE HER FRONT DOOR. WHAT MEMORIES PICTURES CAN EVOKE. THEY REALLY ARE BEAUTIFUL

Dave Lord - 04/09/2007

What a suprise.... I can remember drawing that arch when I was around 14 years old, a keen cyclist and sketcher, infact the arch became a logo of a sculpturing company I used to have some near twenty years ago. If my memory serves me right there is a date stone above the doorway dating to 16##, it must have been a bleak lifestyle living there then

Sally K - 03/04/2007

Lovin some of the Manchester City Centre shots Leon!

Paul Griffiths - 02/04/2007

I love the Barrowford locks! :]

Richard Stancliffe - 30/03/2007

I think your pics are really good.

WHR - 22/12/2006

Hey Leon, You ought to list the sets of photos in text, rather than just having numbers (and hovver buttons)

HollandsPies - Jon. - 22/12/2006

Hi Leon. Like the Nelson funfair ones the best. They remind me of the shots I used to take whilst at Art college. But in those days all I had was a Yashica (not SLR) and took b&w shots - had to develop them myself too. Do you retouch them with Photoshop or anything? Keep it up.

suzanne - 23/11/2006

these are some amazing shots. my camera is incabable of decent picture

Charles - 21/11/2006

Enjoyed looking at your photos - they are good! Thank you so much for sharing your site.

bomb - 06/11/2006

Beautiful shots. Are you using a filter here, or is the slight colour cast post-produced?

gary rothwell - 15/10/2006

hello there, just a quick enquiry: do you by any chance, know who owns the land on which the disused railway stands?

Chris - 12/10/2006

hi love the photos of Haworth and around there as i come from that area but now live Cornwall, we try to get back home at lest once a year have you got anymore photos from there snow ones

Alex Haigh - 21/05/2006

Michael Williams - 15/05/2006

Now 86, and writing my family history, I'm, remembering those days in the 30s when I would spend holidays with my grandfather W W Moulds of St Helens. First in what must have been perhaps a fishermans shack at Stony Gap, and later in what must have been an adjacent farmhouse which he later acquired. I seem to remember the address was 'Far Arnside' My main memory of the farmhouse is that it had a 'two seater' outside 'convenience' and that, unlike my home in Southport, had no gas or electricity. Lighting was by oil lamps or candles and cooking was achieved by the use of Primus stoves. Fresh water was gained from a spring, down on the beach, covered by the sea at high tide but giving fresh clear water at low tide. The water was carried up a path to the higher ground where the 'shack' and farmhouse were. This was achieved by the use of two buckets and a 'hoop' of tree branch around the body which when grasped withe the bucket handles kept them from banging against the carrier's legs. The lane down to my grandfather's 'place' was off to the left of the road from Silverdale to Arnside, just beyond what I seem to remember was called 'The Dip' on the approach to which a small boy was able to read a sign which read: EASE ALL HORSES ON THESE HILLS, PASSENGERS PLEASE WALK. We,of course, were in a motor car in which we had driven from Southport via Preston and Carnforth. The sign is now, no doubt, long gone, but if a picture of it does exist I would dearly love to see it again We have lived in Perth, Western Australia since migrating here in 1957 and my present aim is to try and leave, for my children, grandchildren and great-children, some of my memories of the 'Old Country' I can be contacted by snail-mail at 31, Cadoux Loop HOCKING, 6065 Western Australia. Or by fax on (08) 9306 3975 Or by email on willimik@bigpond.net.au P,S, Do they still race 'sand yachts' on the beach at Silverdale?

Neal - 09/05/2006

Nice website leon, love the photo's. Put some on BurnleyWeb.com, cheers!

Andy - 09/05/2006

Hi Leon, looking at your pictures of the Burnley area (and the subject matter), I'm quite suprised we haven't bumped into each other! Nice site and some cracking images, give me a shout if you want to check some of my online photos of Burnley out, cheers.

Karen - 01/05/2006

It's great to be asked to look at scenes and objects from a different point of view. Stills of images we often glimpse at but don't fix in the memory are thought provoking. Close ups of signage were particulary good - I thoroughly enjoyed looking at your photos but am a little envious of your locations!

paul millar - 21/04/2006

great pics, vivid color, great topics

George Marks - 14/04/2006

Some really nice shots and reminded me of the countryside up there - where I spent my first 16 or so years - well the shots of Lancashire coountryside that is. Keep up the good work and shall bookmark and revisit.

peter - 13/04/2006

How could I set-up a similar website for my pics.

carol - 30/03/2006

wonderful,i can almost see my caravan from the beach at ravenglass!

david - 13/03/2006

absolutely brilliant, i used the photos in art-thanks a bunch, you saved me a detetion!

George Burnley - 28/02/2006

Good composition used throughout. Unfortunately photographs show why Morecambe ha become much maligned in recent years. No other seaside resort in the country can boast such a visat from the promenade. Well done

Paul, Christchurch, NZ - 23/02/2006

Fantastic - forgot we used to get blue sky in Yorkshire / Lancashire ! will be showing this to some of the locals here in NZ.... and you're a claret too !!

Squirrel - 22/02/2006

Any chance of telling us where each pic is taken? Good stuff,though.

KevinMoore - 22/02/2006

Good photos mate .What kind of camera are you using? New to photography would be grateful for any advice you could give me. Just bought the nikon d50 digital slr .Is this camera capable of producing pics like yours? Thanks for sharing anyway. Kev

trish currie - 14/02/2006

Burnley Fan - 17/01/2006

Ha Anthony, I keep being called allsorts for thinking the attitude on c-m is out of order. Nowhere else to post though :-( Excellent photos Leon.

leon crompton - 16/01/2006

Like the images......i live in burnley myself..............good to see local image art................

Phil Hopwood - 16/01/2006

Superb photography, Leon. Particulary like the gritty shots around the arches and Central Station. Do you have any more railway scenes in Burnley you would like to display? I grew up in Burnley and was fascinated by the railway as a kid, although I don't suppose there is much of the railway left now. Keep up the good work.

Richard Parker - 14/01/2006

leon, you share my fondness for telegraph poles!! and such like....brilliant stuff.

Cardiff fan - 14/01/2006

Andrew - 14/01/2006

I really enjoy looking at your pictures - there are alot of very good ones, and the odd one or two which are truly fantastic!

Anthony - 13/01/2006

Some excellent images Leon! Like many others who have sent messages, I have moved away from Burnley (Padiham) and I show this site to southerners to impress / scare them. Brave thing to do to post them on the Clarets Mad website too - I would imagine you get some 'smart' responses sometimes.

garry - 12/01/2006

steve - 12/01/2006

Glyn Lucas - 09/12/2005

Brilliant Pics of Clowbridge, I walk my dog there daily. When did you take the pictures? recently? During the recent cold spell it was like a winter wonderland, I should have taken my camera.

d.courtney - 04/12/2005

Greg Patterson - 28/11/2005

I do a lot of walking around Hameldon Hill, Crown Point, Deerplay Moor etc. Your photos really capture the vibe of the area - sort of desolate but beatiful at th e same time. Nice work!!!

Chris Gildert - 22/11/2005

Superb pics Leon, and most have relevance to me as I am from barrowford, lived in Padiham and have now moved to Manchester city centre. Keep up the good work.
