Flock In Keighley now!

Sheep are spreading everywhere! These two were in the Airedale Shopping Centre and there are another eight somewhere else in the town. These are bigger than those in Skipton, but then again, Keighley is a bigger place. =

Flock to Skipton

The Baa Bones......

All Ewe Need Is Love......

Mapping Skipton......

Baa Prepared.....

Petri......

Much like the outbreaks of painted cows which have sprung up in cities all over the country in recent years, Skipton has encountered an escape of sheep. There are 25 dotted around the town, I photographed the first 5 before boredom set in.

The Filey Life Saving Rocket Company

Not the name of an album by a Seventies Folk Rock group, but the one time owners of the white pole in the distance. In order to practice rescuing people from sinking ships, they sent some unfortunate soul to the top of the pole to pretend he was on the mast of a stricken ship. Once there, they then fired a rocket propelled rope at him in order to provide a means of escape.
It either worked and another soul was saved or it knocked him into the sea and finished him off for good.
