Heeley City Farm (10.07.2007 20:35)
Heeley City Farm is an inner City Farm project in Sheffield that began back in 1981. In those early days a group of dedicated volunteers set about clearing two acres of derelict land and rubble and transformed it into what it is today. Those same individuals successfully registered the project as a Charity and with help from the Sheffield City Council and later funding, from the EEC and [more...] -

Sugar Mill Ponds are located just outside the Village of Rawcliffe Bridge, about five miles to the West of Goole, in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

The South Yorkshire Transport Museum can be found at Aldwarke, near Rotherham in South Yorkshire. Until recently this transport museum was located in the former Tinsley tram sheds between Sheffield and Rotherham. I visited here about 4 years ago and it was then called the Sheffield Bus Museum.

Rotherhams largest Church is known as the Rotherham Minster and dominates the Centre of this South Yorkshire Town.

The Church of St Michael and All Angels (08.07.2007 21:23)
The Church of St Michael and All Angels stands high on a hillside above the Derbyshire town of Hathersage. I have passed close by to this Church on many occasions, but it is only very recently that I undertook a small detour off the main road to visit here. All over the County of Derbyshire there are many wonderful Churches and this is one of the finest examples of them all. The Church is [more...] -

Buxton is a Spa town in Derbyshire, right on the edge of the Peak District National Park.

80 out of 100Creswell Crags - Worksop, United Kingdom
Creswell Crags (05.07.2007 19:25)
Creswell Crags are fairly local to me so over the years I have visited this place several times. The whole area is a Limestone Gorge scattered with Caves and small Fissures but these Caves hold secrets dating back to the Ice Age. The remains of Animals and Stone Tools found in the Caves here have proved that people lived in these Caves during the Ice Age, some 50,000 years ago. Creswell Crags [more...]
