Mid November .. 'Penny engine lane' .. Eckington.

The 'Moss valley' into which this trail extends.. was at one time a thriving industrial community with water powered mills and coal mines. This particular lane carried a light railway.. to aid the industries..and on which locals would pay a penny to take a ride on the train... Hence the name...''Penny engine lane''

Now closed to motor traffic...this trail branches left to go around the 'Rivelin dams' - straight ahead leads to the higher 'Redmires dams' .. four reservoirs in total which are used for nearby Sheffield water supplies.

Rivelin - Autumn leaves... Sheffield.

A forest track alongside 'Rivelin dams' Sheffield... the trail forks at this point .. up left to the 'Redmires dams'... and straight on to the A57 Manchester road. My family had a weekend hut / cabin close by this area.... I spent much of my youth here and know these woods so well.
