I’m not originally from Burscough, I was brought up in the village of Banks about 5 miles from Burscough. But since making the move onto a canal boat moored near Burscough in about 2009 Burscough has become home.
So lots of walking and boating in the area has meant I’ve now got quite a extensive collection of images from the area

Building work of industrial units continues on the Burscough industrial estate in West Lancashire.
The steel frame of this one has largely gone up with more bits of the kit awaiting fixing. It’s like a big flat pack.
The building is on a part of the former HMS Ringtail airfield that was used for a short period of World War two.
