This small stone walled area is a historic part of Great Eccleston.
You can see the yellow sign behind where there are some new recently built houses. The builder bought the land including The Pinfold.
To his credit he has renovated it & planted flowers & baskets & made it into a really nice place to sit. .
Unfortunately I’ve never seen anyone sitting in it although I did today. It needs another bench as this is the only one & the plant & jeans are taking up a bit of room.
It gave me quite a shock when in saw it.
The Pinfold was used as a holding pen for animals.
Harry isn’t too well today after his day in hospital, he will be better tomorrow I’m sure.
It hoes look like a lovely area.. Yes it does need another bench.. topless man taking up all the room. My friend has one like this in her garden and it gives me a start every time.
What a delightful corner to stop a while - It certainly needs another bench even if only for aesthetic reasons !I am afraid I am not keen on these topless jeans! - macabre in my view and he could have provided a log stump for him to sit on !! Sorry to hear Harry is not feeling too well - he will just have to take things easy for a while !!
@beryl Funny enough on our local FB page tonight they are asking if anyone knows where the original sign is. Great Eccleston in Bloom apparently. Good idea about the log. I did comment on the FB post saying how lovely it was & another bench would be good.
I have a hard time with weird art, and this is very weird. Seems disrespectful of the historic pinfold for this weirdness to be there. I’m sorry Harry isn’t feeling better.
Sorry Harry is feeling poorly - Hope he soon feels better. What a strange sight the topless body- not sure it adds a nice atmosphere to the delightful area. Another bench definitely needed.
Hope Harry feels better soon.
A topless body gets my attention LOL
