Do...Hi Jessica. Glad you've enjoyed the blog.<br /><br />Dovedale and the surrounding area appears to be a popular spot for getting married - not surprising as it's so picturesque, and I hope you had a lovely day there.<br /><br />I'd love to see scans of the James Valentine book if you would like to share them. Perhaps they could accoompany a follow up article on Dovedale that I'm planning, since I had a very pleasant walk down the length of it a few months ago.<br /><br />I've seen several variants of the spelling, so it doesn't particularly surprise me.<br /><br />Regards, BrettBrett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599702957095945938.post-17533272027283582012014-01-20T03:27:21.019+13:002014-01-20T03:27:21.019+13:00Hi Brett,
Thank you for your interesting blog. I ...Hi Brett,<br />Thank you for your interesting blog. I have just discovered a book entitled 'Views of Ashburne & Dovedale. Published by C.Hales, Ashburne. At the back it mentions that it was photographed and printed by Valentine and Sons Ltd, Dundee. I'm intrigued by the spelling of 'Ashburne' rather than 'Ashbounre'. I find the photographs fascinating, especially as we were married at Ilam Hall a year and a half ago.

I've just returned from holiday in the UK which featured a driving tour up to the very top of Scotland. I'm now trying to sort all my photos of similar grand landscapes into a manageable album. I like how these photographers put a figure into the shot in order to give scale. Very artistic.
