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.

  1. Gerald - I'm sorry to have to say this, but the picture is not showing on my screen (but thank you for the mention) :-)

  2. I see that they are fairly new, and probably quite comfortable. But just today I think I would skip sitting on them.

  3. Cold and damp. Good sneezing weather by the look of it. I'd be rushing home for a hot toddy!

  5. Lovely scrollwork in the side rails. On a sunny day this would be an excellent place to sit awhile.

  6. They look very attractively made and sturdy too. I like the colours in the wet pavements too.
