The Heritage Ride 9

Day 2
Day two broke sunny and lovely. Back into Preston down the old tram road then steeply up through Avenham Park past Bank Parade where my gran used to live, and Winkley Square where my father's office was. I pass the record shop [long gone] where we would queue for the latest Beatles singles, the marvellous covered market and St Walburge church with its steeple, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_St._Walburge,_Preston, the highest of any parish church in England, then reach the start of the Lancaster Canal which I follow towards Kirkham. I see a Tern, one of the most beautiful of birds, flitting above the water.
