Friday Bench (23): Ashton Market Ground
This week's benches are on the market ground at Ashton-under-Lyne. The photograph was taken yesterday in pouring rain.
In the background is a stall set up by the Royal British Legion under the Town Hall selling poppies in readiness for Remembrance Day.
My favourite benches discovered last week include Rune's in The Forest of Canada, Barbara's in Edmonton, Rupert's in Old Catton Park, Neil's in Belmore Park and Cezar and Léia's on the Champagne Trail.

Gerald - I'm sorry to have to say this, but the picture is not showing on my screen (but thank you for the mention) :-)
ReplyDeleteI see that they are fairly new, and probably quite comfortable. But just today I think I would skip sitting on them.
ReplyDeleteCold and damp. Good sneezing weather by the look of it. I'd be rushing home for a hot toddy!
ReplyDeleteI was in Ashton yesterday. Unfortunately at Tameside General.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic in spite of the rain
Lovely scrollwork in the side rails. On a sunny day this would be an excellent place to sit awhile.
ReplyDeletethank for the fantastic links!
ReplyDeleteThey look very attractively made and sturdy too. I like the colours in the wet pavements too.
