Autumn Rays:- This photograph was taken a few miles from my home in Lever Park near Rivington, Lancashire. It was a cold and very foggy winters morning, frost lying on the ground with a crispness under foot. In a few different places the sun was breaking through the mist and creating an eerie almost surreal atmosphere. I hope that I have capture this in the photographic artwork, Autumn Rays

Latest Information- I am delighted to announce that this photograph is being used as a CD cover by the choral group Brown Brothers USA.

Rivington - Lever Park, as we know it today was named after the peer of the realm, Lord Leverhulme. Lever Park came into existence in 1904 located between the village of Rivington and Horwich. The village of Rivington had adopted the same name as the area around it. The tiny village comprises two large houses, one chapel, a church, a school, a ruined barn and a row of cottages.[5] The village is not part of Lever Park.

Rivington Village and what remains now of the ancient buildings were partially saved by the intervention of W.H. Lever.

The entrance to Lever Park from Horwich has two pillars inscribed with the words: William Hesketh Lever 1st viscount Leverhulme.
