Towneley Hall

Towneley Hall, Burneley. Formerly property of the Towneley family, now managed by Burnley Borough Council, this Elizabethan mansion (reflected in the lake in front of it) looks over its wide parkland, which is now open for the public to enjoy.

The Langdale Pikes

The Langdale Pikes. These peaks (Pike a’Stickle on the left and Harrison Stickle on right) have the attraction of looking like real mountains, while at the same time being accessible to any reasonably fit Walker. This view is from Side Pike, just across the valley.

York Minster

One of the best places to see York Minster is from the city wall, where it’s grandeur and elegance can be viewed above the surrounding rooftops.

Skipton Canal Basin

. The well used moorings, the parish church, the bridge over the cut leading to the castle, the picturesque architecture and , of course, the ducks, give this hub of the Leeds/Liverpool canal an enduring interest.

Scarborough

This sketch shows the extensive remains of the castle on the headland that separates the north and south bays, viewed from the busy harbour. On the left of it is St. Mary’s Church, which served as a gun emplacement for the parliamentarians during the civil war, as they besieged the royalists who held out in the castle. Much later it was also a target for German battleships in their assault on the north coast of England in the winter of 1914.

Whitby

The view across the harbour towards the abbey ruins on the opposite headland is a compelling one, and a challenge to draw, with its precise interrelation of shapes.

Colne Blues Festival

This is an annual event on August bank holiday weekend. this picture shows revellers enjoying themselves outside the ‘Muni’, which hosts headline bands.Other bands and performers appear throughout the town.

Rossendale Track

The track leading up to Cowpe Lowe, in Rossendale, in winter. I had recently come across a fascinating book about pen and ink drawing called ‘Learning Without a Master and this is one of my first attempts to follow its guidance.

The Strid

The Strid is a waterfall near Bolton Abbey where the River Wharfe forces it’s way through narrow chasms where the rock has been sculpted by the chaotic torrent.
