I am not at all sure about ‘WANTED young girls for bottling and pickling’…

I have delved way back into my Flickr archives for this photograph taken from the Wrekin. It was taken on a nice morning walk with colleauges and friends.
Unfortunately I am unable to upload any photographs today due to a problem with my internet connection. It is slower than dial up!! Originally I thought it was my PC that was the problem because outlook kept freezing in ’send and receive’ mode and webpages wouldn’t load and kept resetting and giving me error messages.
I thought my laptop was working fine but when I tried to upload photos I realised that it too was slow, just not timing out…
On the plus side it was a lovely sunny day here. Just the thing for a BBQ and a glass of wine after work. This was followed by me sitting on the patio reading and soaking up the last rays of the sun before it dropped too chilly and I had to come inside.
Hopefully on the internet front, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible…

For those who are interested in the technical details:
The Hay Inclined Plane connects the canal at Blists Hill with the canal at Coalport, lifting boats 63m using a combination of steam power and gravity. The inclined plane was opened in 1792 and remained in use until the end of the nineteenth century. It survives today as one of the most impressive structures of its type in the country. Spectacular views of this monument can be had from the bottom at Coalport; it is also well worth the walk to the end of the canal at Blists Hill to see the remains of the basin and the base of the steam winding engine at the top.
