Wanlockhead Miners' Church by Tom Gomez

High in the Lowther Hills to the west of the M74 in Dumfries and Galloway, Wanlockhead is Scotland’s highest village at 467m (1531 ft). Built in 1848, the dull grey bulk of Wanlockhead Miners’ Church stands out among the painted cottages of the modern village. With boarded up windows and sagging roof, what was once the centre of the village now stands neglected. There may be some hope for its preservation in that there are plans to incorporate it into the Museum of Lead Mining which is the present centre of focus in the village. Wanlockhead Miners’ Church is an Historic Scotland Category C Listed building (HB Number 17190). Wanlockhead owes its existence to the lead, gold and other minerals found under the surrounding countryside. These mineral deposits were probably first exploited by the Romans and from the 1200s they were being worked again by groups of miners who gathered here each summer. The first permanent settlement appeared in about 1680, when the Duke of Buccleuch built a lead smelting plant and workers’ cottages that could be occupied all year round. Although lead was for many centuries the mainstay of the village’s economy, it was not the only mineral found here. What became known as “God’s Treasure House” also produced zinc, copper, silver and gold. Some of the world’s purest gold, at 22.8 carats, was found locally and used in the Regalia of the Scottish Crown. Today’s Wanlockhead depends primarily on tourism. The Southern Upland Way long distance footpath passes through the village, but the main attraction for the motoring tourist revolves around the village’s industrial past.

Mill House, The Water Meadows, Winchester, southern England. by Philip Mitchell

The way to Winchester’s Water Meadows from the city centre goes south along College Walk, turns right past Winchester College’s New Hall and then left through a little gate. Here one is greeted by the sight of this charming late eighteenth century house at the start of the path that runs in between two streams of the River Itchen, flanked by some of the College’s playing fields. The white railings are part of the little foot-bridge that crosses the mill stream to reach the front door. Though he does not mention it by name, John Keats must have passed Mill House as he took his daily walks out to St Cross in the Autumn of 1819. It is one English Heritage’s grade-listed buildings.

The Old Church by Anthony Hedger

This really is better viewed larger The Old Church is set almost opposite The Blue Ball Inn, a Grade II listed 13th century Inn on Exmoor, Countisbury, near Lynmouth, Devon. You may remember the colour version of the church but I don’t think I ever made a B&W copy so here it is. The church has a name but I can’t remember it and can’t find it either but it sits on top of the hill in Devon. It is very old and weathered and has a rugged beauty about it. I took the shot back in June 2008 and have tweaked it a little in Photoshop Elements 7 All the materials contained may not be reproduced, copied, edited, published, transmitted or uploaded in any way without my permission.

Haworth Village . by Irene Burdell

Best viewed large . / Nestling just below the atmospheric West Yorkshire moors, the beautiful village of Haworth is the jewel in the crown of the Worth Valley. Just to the north of Bradford, Haworth is internationally famous for its connections with the Brontë family, and the three sisters in particular.

Most well known books are Jayne Eyre and Wuthering Heights . / _ Main St Haworth with added textures .and layers. Canon Eos 400d / HDR using a tripod and three shot bracketing. /

Aww! Nuts! by oulgundog

Mountstewart red squirrals are famous,and for anyone who has never seen one ..(and there are many).. Mountstewart on the shore’s of Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland ..thats the place to go. I walk there quite often. Every bend in the paths brings a surprise, and I disturbed this little guy out getting his nuts ..(behave).. in for the winter. Mountstewart hasn’t been invaded yet by the greys, as it is surronded on three sides by farm land and the other side is water. I usually carry a little camera on a walk, can’t be bothered with anything bulky just a pocket one, and on this occasion my first digital one which I still use, an Olympus c220z.. very reliable. / Mountstewart is a National Trust property.
