Swinton Scene

Updated: Sep 20, 2022

By Richard Mather



Fog swirls, curls around vans, cars, slips ghostlike through bare branches. A neighbour coughs into a handkerchief made (he says) from Greengate cotton. “Yesterday, before the snow, three old horses munched wet grass as I walked through the relics of the Wet Earth Colliery, which on reflection, were beautiful objects of time and rust.”


[Note: Swinton is a town in Salford, Greater Manchester]
