    Catcliffe Flash Nature Reserve - Rotherham, United Kingdom
    An urban oasis (15.01.2008 22:10)
    Catcliffe Flash is in my opinion a real little gem of a place, despite its rather uncomfortable setting, nestled between housing estates and abandoned open cast mining sites. Situated six miles to the east of Sheffield city centre, just across the Rotherham boundary it is a place where I spent a lot of my childhood, and consequently a place that I have a lot of very fond memories of. What is [more...]

    The South Yorkshire Transport Museum can be found at Aldwarke, near Rotherham in South Yorkshire.

Until recently this Church, which is as large as many Cathedrals, was known as All Saints Parish Church.

    Brecon - Rotherham, United Kingdom - December, 2006
    The Brecon Hotel in Rotherham (04.07.2007 10:40)
    The Brecon Hotel in Rotherham was the choice of venue for a work's function. We had left it a little late to get in any of our preferred venues and found that the Brecon was just about the only place that could accommodate our part of around 40 people. This was my first visit to this Hotel, although since it is located on one of the main routes just outside of Rotherham it is a place that I [more...]
