Black Box

After all the whiteness of recent weeks, here, for a change, is something black. Or is it grey?

It's the new Village Hotel on Ashton Moss, just off Lord Sheldon Way and almost alongside the motorway.

I'm sure it is really nice inside but I can't help thinking it looks rather grim from the outside.

If anyone staying at the hotel gets bored in the evening, it is only a few yards walk to Cine World, Hollywood Bowl and assorted eateries. Or they could always go and look at the statues that line Lord Sheldon Way!

In the background, to the left of the hotel, you can see the tower of St Peter's Church in the West End of Ashton.

See Birds Eye View of this location. It doesn't look quite as black from the air.
