Today, Big went off with a little friend to Manor Heath Park to do the usual running round in circles, with a bit of making stuff thrown in.
So, I took Small to Castle Hill. If you have been to Huddersfield, you have almost certainly seen it. There is a tower on top, erected for the 60th Jubilee of Queen Victoria. In a fit of inventiveness, the good burghers of Huddersfield called it Victoria Tower, although apparently, that is too difficult for people to remember, so they call it the Jubilee Tower, for short.
It has spectacular views all round, and we had a both had a great time just exploring. I took a handful of pics to add to Geograph, Small ran around a lot and we will go back some time when the tower is open (weekend job) and see what it is like from the top.
Oh yes. It was windy up there.
As an interesting aside ( 😉 ) Castle Hill is 900 feet high, and the tower is 100 feet, to make the total height up to 1000 ft. If you go due east from Huddersfield, the next time you find anything as tall as 1000 ft is in the Urals.
That is interesting. So go on, do tell. What is it?
It is a great view from the top. Some stuff worth seeing inside too. Pity it’s not always open.
