Hello Everyone :)
I am interior designer who is passionate about the theme and leisure industry and focus on new concepts and environments for everyone, mainly work with animatronics and currently programming shows for Skulltronix in LA.
I also enjoy driving / walking in the country side to enjoy the wonderful place where we live.
Hopefully I can share some of the sights and places that mean a lot to me.
Sit back and enjoy.
Best Wishes
Andy

Ye Olde Crown Inn, Waterhouses built in 1647 originally as a coaching inn to support the stage coaches that were travelling from leek to Manchester. In 1890 a coach travelling down Swinscoe hill on new years eve both drivers were drunk after stopping at every inn on the way, lost control were thrown from the carriage which crashed into the toll gate at the bottom. A black dog has also been seen on many occasions which is rumours to guard the grave of three murderd Jacobites in the civil war. Ye Olde Crown Inn are putting on a ghost evening on the 14th of September and plan on many more in the future so check it out. Fantastic inn with great food and friendly service in a wonderful location. (check out my photos of Throwley hall and Swainsley Tunnel in this album as these are near by places to visit!)

Throwley Hall
Throwley Hall is now in ruins once a fine Elizabethan manor house. The manor house was built in 1603 for Simon Meverell, a scion of the Meverell family to whom Throwley belonged from 1203 to the mid 17th century. The house passed to Charles Cotton on his marriage to the widow of the last of the Meverells. In the 1960’s a farmer reported seeing a headless female standing amongst the ruins of the hall, a large bloody stain running down her front. The hall was once owned by the Cromwell's, and it is thought the ghostly figure was beheaded after upsetting the family.
Another phantom reported on the grounds is a ghostly coach and horses, which charges along the former driveway.
