Demolition work continues at pace on the old Stones brewery site. Hopefully, this time next year the new development will be well underway.
I think the site owners are on record saying the current phase is more difficult and expensive than envisaged #Sheffield

A hard watch at times, but Russell Crowe is absolutely mesmerising as Nazi War Criminal Hermann Göring. Highly recommend catching Nuremberg 🎬

Entrance to former premises of George Barnsley and Son (right), Cornish Street. One of my favourite walks takes me through here. I love the houses on the left. Clearly derelict on the 80's photo.
Hopefully the old works on the right is saved soon. There's some sign of work on site 🙏 #Sheffield

Sheffield Old Town Hall goes to auction today. Built in 1808, but extensions and clock tower came later. It's changed hands several times, but remains undeveloped and in a rapidly deteriorating condition. Hopefully, this time it finds an owner with its interests at heart (and deep pockets)

Out and about today enjoying a loop along the Canal, east from Bacon Lane bridge, then back along the Don. Such a pity the path remains closed after East Coast Road #Sheffield

So as Nigel Farage has a good buddy & a long time prominent member of his Reform party jailed for taking Russian bribes, the BBCs Chris Mason thinks it is Keir Starmer who needs to be questioned over his leadership credentials.
Stop the gossip journalism & seek out a real story… Farage & Russia.

Never Fear Dam today, looking appropriately spooky. Supposedly named after a ghost appeared to two miners walking home after their shift. Seeing their shock, the spirit reassured them with those words

The stream on my daily walk has been virtually dry all summer and the footbridge redundant.

Mighty machines at work over at Staveley. Preparing the way for the reconstruction of Bellhouse Basin and the next 400 yards or so of the canals journey towards Renishaw. Huge amounts of earth needed to make up the required ground levels. Mind boggling stuff

Stunning out there this morning. The zig zag hedge line isn't what it seems. I've got an old field map and the hedges ran off all those right angles. Over the years they were grubbed out in favour of praire style fields for the farmer to work.
