A World Heritage site which can be reached by car/coach.
This place has an interesting name.
A bird in hand.
Older than the iron bridge.
Nice lunch menu.
Nice interior decoration, including
an iron work of the structire of the bridge
Accommodation available.
This view is outside
an indoor market of Merrythought.
We spent some time browsing inside the market.
The milk-bottle-like structures are
chimneys of a power station.
there are many museums related to
iron, tiles, china, Victorian old days, etc.
(Back then, stuff made in Britain were really of good quality and last long. That is before globalisation and over-emphasis of profit and fast return eyeing short term benefits of cost-cutting and blind belief in free trade via which influx of cheap imported goods slowly killing off local good quality goods, businesses, craftmen, trade even industries. )
My old friends cannot walk much.
So we just did window-shopping in the interesting shops & market around the area, had lunch & left.
It is a good place to spend a weekend.
Especially when it is sunny, warm and mild wind.
