SHEFFIELD (Part 1 of 5)

My son Michael & I had a day out at Sheffield earlier in the Spring.  It was just to take photographs and we took A LOT!

Leaving Cleethorpes.

Arrived at Sheffield.

This is the covered bridge over the tracks.

View through the bridge down onto the station.

Out onto the main station entrance.

Outside Sheffield Station is this water feature.

From the top of the water feature, looking back toward the train station.

Along the length of the water feature is this wall of steel, also a water feature.  Water cascades
down like a waterfall and catches the light to make patterns and colours.  It's made from stainless
steel which was first discovered and made in Sheffield.

It had been raining shortly before we arrived.

People were posing along the wall of steel.

Crossing the main road into the city centre where we wanted to photograph.

A strange structure, I believe it is a vent, on the building called "The Hubs".  It's the Sheffield
Hallam Students Union building.

We took a lot of images of this and had to be quite ruthless when it came to editing them down
later.  I did retain a lot here though!!

Sheffield is known for it's murals, they are everywhere and we took quite a few but didn't
see them all. 

More images of "The Hubs".

This is the main entrance to The Hubs, at this point the sun came out!

Sheffield is built on seven hills and so, as you progress into and across the city you encounter
lots of these passageways and stairways.  More murals on the left image but also some
unfortunate grafitti too!

More images from Sheffield to follow.

Tealby and Tealby Thorpe.

Tealby has a school in the village with a picturesque bell tower, 

I took quite a few pictures of it from different viewpoints.

The school from the top road at Tealby.  Several other views follow.

The Village Hall on the left and the village shop in the centre.

Village Hall.

Lincolnshire's flag.

Tealby Thorpe is a much smaller group of dwellings about 2 mile further along the little stream that runs through both villages.

There are only a few houses here where the stream cuts through the village at the ford.

The Old Watermill.

The occupants of this house have their own little bridge to access the driveway.

Tealby

Tealby Village

"Tealby is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, situated on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds and 3 miles (5 km) north-east from Market Rasen.

Tealby is noted for the Tennyson d'Eyncourt family which donated the village hall and school.[citation needed] In the 1980s the school was used for filming the programme Nanny.
In the early 2000s the village was granted permission  for a general shop to be built, now run by volunteers. The village post office was threatened with closure, however it remains open at certain times of the week.[citation needed] Tealby church, built using local orange-iron stone, is dedicated to All Saints and dates back to the 12th century; it holds memorials to the Tennyson d'Eyncourt family. Tealby residents included Bernie Taupin, who lived on Beck Hill.

These pictures taken around Christmas time.

The Lincolnshire Wolds have many lovely areas and places.

From the car park looking towards the village school.  That's the building with the bell tower.
There will be more, closer images of the school in the next posting.

The Viking Way,long distance footpath goes through the village.  Here it is leaving to
go up onto the Wolds.

As the footpath leaves the village it crosses
this ford.

Decorated for Christmas.

A shop in the village selling curios and gifts.

A strange name to this alleyway.

Looking up the main street, church in the background.

The village butchers Shop.

RECYCLING

I recently visited our local Recycling Centre and was impressed with the way they themselves had recycled a lot of the items that are brought in for disposal.  It certainly brightens up the site and made me smile.  I was also impressed when I saw that their "bring & buy sale" raised a £1000 for charity!

I popped back today and took a few pictures, hope they make you smile too.
