We need your photos!

Our photo competition may be over but you can submit your photographs to us at any time by sending them to photos@hcpartnership.org.uk . We’re always on the look out for both the common and more unusual views of the village to use on our website and Facebook page. We perhaps have the viaduct covered for the time being though!

​

THE RESULTS ARE IN ...

A few weeks ago we asked for you to send us your photos of Holmes Chapel for use on our website and newsletter. Thank you to everyone who submitted their photographs to us. We received almost 40 photographs with some stunning views and it’s a shame we can’t showcase them all here. Look out for them on our Facebook pages, newsletter and here on our website.

​

Our overall winning image was submitted by Lee Thompson. We love this atmospheric view of the viaduct with the morning haze and sun rays streaming through the arches.

In joint second place we have three photographs - all from Andy Bayley! More views of the viaduct but we loved that he was able to capture a train in one image, and to include the famous Jodrell Bank telescope in another. And who could resist a view of the viaduct including a dog? It perfectly captures the area as a popular spot for dog walkers in all seasons.

We have two photographs in joint third position, one from Chantal Hollingworth who has captured the viaduct in winter with a covering of snow, and one from Lee Thompson. It’s great to have this view represented throughout the seasons.

The viaduct is such an iconic structure in our village it’s no surprise it featured in almost all our top photographs! The other focal point of our village which featured heavily was St. Luke’s Church. Here we have the final images that made up our top ten. (Those of you with keen eyes will notice there’s actually 11 in total due to joint 10th place). Thank you to Kate Whelan for the images of London Road and St. Luke’s Church tower,

Lee Thompson for the image of the foggy viaduct, and Andy Bayley for the aerial photographs of Hermitage Bridge and the viaduct.
