Breaking News, Oct 2015

Breaking News, Oct 2015

You saw it here first!.
The old owl next to the Post Office in Compstall was a bit of a land mark, but over the years rotted away, there again it was cut down because it was rotten in the first place so at least it spent its last few years useful as the parks emblem.
Today the friends of Etherow installed a new one on the village green, it will be unveiled shortly with a little ceremony, but here it is for you now!.



So you can tell your visiting friends to turn at the owl again!.
