It’s been another beautiful day for walking. Janet’s going by canal and river through the heart of a post-industrial area. The greening and conversion to ‘heritage’ of such areas is good for visitors like us. But what to do with the hollowed-out communities left behind?
That’s not the whole picture – I think some salt related work still goes on here, though as with other industries of the type, the numbers employed are probably drastically down. And new industry comes up in its place, but I guess the skills required and the pay offered are not the same.
I went shopping in Winsford today.
