The Woodman Inn

The Woodman Inn.

This is the pub just to the side of our mystery twin towers at the Junction of Oldham Road and Wilshaw Road.

Twin Towers

Well I don't have any good shots to blog at the moment.
(I did have, but Martin beat me there :-)

But my girlfriend sent me on a different mission. She'd spotted these two stone posts from the windows of the 409 on Oldham Road. She didn't know what they were for.
















So here they are. I think I've worked out why they are here. Any one else have ideas?

IKEA, good or bad.

I've heard people saying that the IKEA in Ashton is an eyesore.
Well it's not the best bit of architecture I've ever seen. Not even the best in Ashton, but I think it's good to have a world famous multi-national company in our town centre. So it gets the thumbs up from me.

So here it is, overlooking Oldham Road, dispassionately staring towards the Theatre Tavern, not that we actually have a theatre any more.
