Today's walk....amazingly still number 3....seems to have been all about fields.
They stretch as far as the eye can see.
Fields of corn, cabbage, maize and potatoes.
The canal used to play a huge part in agriculture.
Manure was brought from Liverpool to the fields of Lancashire (very smelly boats!!). Limestone was quarried and transported to be used as fertilizer. Then finally the produce from the fields was shipped along the canal to it's destination. It was certainly a busy place.
Yes, times have changed a lot!
