In case anyone is thinking of a walk on Marsden Moor in #WestYorkshire at the weekend, reports on Look North BBC of major moorland fire, somewhere about the middle of this picture. Some roads closed.

If you’re ever anywhere near Halifax in West Yorkshire get yourself along to the Piece Hall, a spectacular building and one of the best public spaces in the country. Loads of lovely shops, cafes and restaurants. There’s nothing else like it in the UK. #Halifax #WestYorkshire #ThePieceHall #Architecture
