Bridge 56, Brownsover Old Arm, Oxford Canal
A lovely, quiet walk this morning taking in Old Brownsover Hamlet and the Swift Valley Nature Reserve. I even ventured into the grounds of St. Michael & All Angels Church, now redundant, but somewhere I had never been to in my sixty years of living in Rugby!
I started off paying my respects to an old colleague, Wilf Brown (RIP), a good man and long served Leading Ambulanceman at the (sadly) now lost forever, Rugby Ambulance Station.
I then continued down the lane to the Swift Valley Nature Reserve, the car park sadly strewn with litter, mainly from McDonalds, even though there are bins.
I certainly don't remember this event!
Swift Valley
Sad to see the bird feeding station as it is, it used to be well serviced!
A moment for reflection
Bridge 56
Old Brownsover Road Bridge, having been rebuilt, I much preferred the character of the old bridge!
Old Brownsover Hamlet
Star Farm, one time Star Inn
Reputed birthplace of Lawrence Sheriff
Sad days again, Brownsover Hall entrance with gates close & padlocked
During my sixty years of living in Rugby, and in spite of passing it by regularly, I failed to visit the Old Brownsover Church of St. Michael & All Angels (now redundant)! Today, I made an outside visit.
Overall, a very enjoyable couple of hours!
Thank you for looking.
