Incline Lift, Blists Hill

After visiting CORE at The Museum of Iron we drove over to

Blists Hill and soaked up the sunshine ,while enjoying fish and chips, sat on the bank of the canal. We had help from the ducks and the huge fish swimming in the canal with the chips.

Always a good place to visit and perfect with the great weather.

There are two tiny cottages at Blists Hill that are both adorable and really make you realize how families lived then.One is Shelton Tollhouse
