Description
Metal Statue working the heavy wooden lock gates.
Situated at a small West Yorkshire town SOWERBY BRIDGE, next to HALIFAX UK.
My dear friend Sylvia is from Halifax, Yorkshire and I am from over the pennines in Lancashire. We have slightly different dialects and accents and pronounce some words very differently, Sowerby is one of them. I used to pronounce it like the word "Sour bee" but Sylvia gave me grief for the rest of the trip. you must pronounce the place-names like the locals "So erbee", or almost SO-BE I'm still not sure lol.
There is a place in the Lake district UK called Ambleside you say Amble-side, my brother was walking through Windermere and an American tourist asked "Hi, is this the way to "Am-Bless-idee" not the guys fault but we found it so funny lol.
have a good day! Alan
