Hi, Iain. I noticed the hogweed next to the stream (Eagley Brook) that runs
alongside the Valley Leisure area in Astley Bridge. Valley Leisure area is
where there's a cinema, Atlantis nightclub, restaurants, etc., just off
Waters Meeting Road.

I'm assuming the plant is hogweed -- it looks like a giant cowparsley, about
8-10 feet tall, huge leaves like a gunnera. There's loads of it,
beautifully in flower, all along the stream in various places. Let me know
if it's not hogweed!

Regards,
