Water Hall and River Don
This attractive house has long had an association with the Wordsworth family,
who were the ancestors of the famous poet. There are still Wordsworths in the
area who claim to be related. Frank W. might be one of them.
Water Hall has a pleasant garden and this picture was taken at an open garden day which was for three local gardens. The chap who lives there often flies off in a small red helicopter. Wish it was me.

The River Don runs near Water Hall and, at the other end of 'Watermeadows Park', near the viaduct carrying the trains to and from Huddersfield. What a name, 'Watermeadows Park'. It sounds like pixies dancing in the mist. Used to be a swampy field.
The second scenic view was taken in the cold spell of March 2001, at about zero C. It is one of the new-ish little bridges over the Don which lead into the park. Our ponderous viaduct shivers in the cool haze. This picture has also appeared on the Barnsley Chronicle's website. Next is a view of the river on the same day and, lastly, a small bridge over the river near to Water Hall.
