Bury (Lancashire): On the Banks of the River Irwell

After St. Gabriel's, I continued walking on the path alongside the prison-type fence that guards the school playing fields.

This part of town has become overgrown making the River Irwell setting look more picturesque:


For a moment, I almost thought that I was back at Bolton Abbey, where my journey had started a couple of weeks ago.

Such was the peace and solitude that this stretch of the Irwell offered.


Literally, just a 15-20 minute walk from Bury town centre:


Yeah, passing my old school of yesteryear and finding a welcoming stillness at the riverside provided a perfect ending to my trip to England which had taken in Bolton Abbey/North Yorkshire; Cornwall (Newquay and Looe); Shrewsbury (Shropshire), and of course, my hometown, Bury (Lancashire).
