No, the following photographs are not in the wrong gallery; an unseasonably cold March 2013 resulted in considerable snowfall over the weekend commencing the 23rd. The resultant drifts caused the usually-busy A515 road between Ashbourne and Buxton to close. Some properties along the route were inaccessible for a number of days. The ESLA, as always, took the snow in its stride; after all, it had lived through many bad winters (and springs!) in its approximate 80 year life!

The lantern had been converted to LED operation on Friday, 1st March. This spell of bad weather would be a good test of the lamp's durability; fortunately, it survived without any issues.

Owing to the direction that the wind was blowing, one side of the column, bracket and lantern was more engulfed by snow than the other was.

Welcome to Narnia!

This is the ESLA as it appeared exactly a year later, on the 23rd March 2014:

There was no snow this time, though an early-evening shower had led to a glorious sunset.
