A Chew fence

A Chew fence
A refreshing look at one of the many gullies in the Chew Valley of Saddleworth . Why these fences are here, I can never understand as there is neither livestock nor bigger wild animals here. Probably just remnant’s of times gone by

HFF, enjoy this Good Friday and Easter weekend.

HFF do you think its to discourage walkers from heading that way?
4 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Colin Ashcroft club
Maybe but in reality I am stood on a pretty public lane here. The fence had no real ends. Maybe it was the edge of one of the many old quarries that were around here (Quarrying for the reservoir dam stone.)

Seems a bit of an unnecessary fence from what you say Herb, but at least it gave you a great shot for Fridays! HFF!!
Take care and I wish you a Happy Easter weekend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Completly useless now as any animal can walk arouns both ends. Maybe it was the edge of one of the many old quarries that were around here (Quarrying for the reservoir dam stone.) Glad you liked it.

Lovely colors, Herb. It seems like a pretty rocky gully. Could the fence have been meant to prevent or slow boulders from rolling down into the pastures? It looks like it was a fairly sturdy fence, though it has clearly seen better times.
HFF and a nice Easter weekend.
4 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Annalia S. club
As you say, still in decent condition. Maybe it was the edge of one of the many old quarries (quarrying for the reservoir dam stone) that were around here as there is part of a sturdy wall too. I am stood on a open lane here.

Good to see you George. As said above, on looking at this I think it might have bordered an old Quarry that was used in the building of the reservoirs here.

Very nicely composed Herb............in lovely light and with great depth and detail.

The fence looks very sturdy..........but probably redundant now...........unless it is to keep photographers at bay :-))

Hi Herb

A very nice picture, of these old fences.

There are a lot f these in Wales too. Mostly to stop the sheep straying too far, if the sheep are ever in the area!!

Best Wishes, HFF, a happy Easter, and stay safe!!
