|May 01, 2025
CHESHIRE’S inspiring landmarks and intriguing history come under the spotlight in an exciting new collection of poems and images by local writer Lynn Pegler.
Around Cheshire in 100 Poems and Pictures takes readers on a visual and literary journey of discovery, exploring familiar features and hidden corners from a fresh perspective.
Anderton Boat Lift, Jodrell Bank, Hack Green Cold War Bunker, Northwich’s salt mine subsidence, Oulton Park race track, Norton Priory and beavers in Delamere Forest are just a few of the fascinating places explored in the poetic behind-the-scenes tour.
With a journalistic eye, Lynn’s collection of poetic reportage combines lively monologues from real and imaginary people with more reflective verse to present a delightful portrait of a ‘special’ county.
