Riverside Path, Holmfirth — Child's Shoe, Blue Canvas

Riverside path, Holmfirth  ·  Shoe #58  ·  Conditions: dry, cold wind down the valley

A child's shoe, left, blue canvas, small size, sat on the wall by the riverside path in Holmfirth, near the bridge. The children's ones I tend to remember better than the rest, and this is one of them.

Dry day, cold wind coming down the valley — that's in the notebook, and so is 'photograph came out for once', which tells you summat about the hit rate in 2014. I've still got that photograph. Blue canvas against a grey wall. I stood with it a while before moving on, and I'll have had the flask somewhere along the river, though the notebook doesn't say. That's all the record holds and it's enough.

Written up August 2026, from the notebook.

Hello. Thank you for this. The shoe on this page were a child's, which I suppose is why your message has found its way here. The children's ones I tend to remember better than the rest, and I've never worked out whether that wants saying out loud. Two pairs for the price of one and a half seems fair value. I hope both pairs stay together. Best wishes, Keith.
