There’s no mistaking this waterfall in Espiner’s (Hancock’s) Wood.
Thanks to Beryl Morris for the image.

The title says ”Loftus Wood” but where was this waterfall? Image courtesy of Beryl Morris.
Thanks to Beryl Morris for this postcard view of the wood taken from down beside the beck.
”Haugh Bridge, Water Lane” is written on the back of this card, but we don’t think it is. Could it be the footbridge at the bottom of Slater’s Banks, taken from the field? The ’Private Wood’ was felled and cleared round about 1970 and has since regrown.
The waterfall doesn’t look like we see it now, the caption says Loftus waterfall but it must have been before it was built of brick.

Lovely peaceful photograph with Geo. Skilbeck’s name in the corner, did he take the photo or just sell the postcard? Wish I had a pound for every time I had walked across that waterfall, we never saw any danger.
The caption says Loftus Woods so that is where it must be, but where in the woods? It looks more like an atomic landscape to me, but the reflections in the water are lovely. Alan Gill believes: ”the photo has been taken just down from the waterfall, and facing away from it.” Thanks to Alan for the update. |
