SOME THINGS DON'T REALLY CHANGE

Firstly we did get out of the locked in pound. The director eventually turned up and it was announced that the pollution was not toxic and possibly caused by a local restaurant washing out? It was probably a grease film. No doubt words will be had!! So we were released at 4pm and we were on our way.

Now in a small town called L'Isle-sur-le-Doubs, looks like it's lost it. Great shame it's only really now a river crossing and a railway station. Interestingly whilst having a wander around we came across this photo from ~ later 1800's (not quite sure why it states 1718, photo no.?).

Late 1800's when the town had some employment and local economic power.

2015 - Same view, well the trees have grown.......
