Main entrance to Concord Park, Shiregreen Lane showing the gates and the soon to be demolished Spring Cottages on Jacobs Lane.
The soon to be park wasn't a blank canvas, as well as these cottages, there was also Hawk's Farm #Sheffield

I've just got a Kia Niro EV and loving it. 270 miles on a full charge. On my recent Cornwall trip, made it to an overnight in Taunton with no issues. Loads of places to charge, even in deepest darkest West Cornwall

Just looking at my side of town, no Manor estate or Frecheville (both 30's). Maybe a hybrid of contemporary transport map, overlaid on an earlier town plan. It is very spare to the South East.

Just over a year ago,my little mate Daisy was hit by a car, I thought I'd lost her.
Thanks to the amazing staff at Vets4Pets on Birley Moor Road, she pulled through. She's blind in one eye and a bit nervous around traffic, but otherwise OK. Here she is on our recent Cornish trip

After de-culverting of the Sheaf (at the Castle site) temporary supports have kept the walls braced.
A new image has been revealed, showing the permanent fix, which gives the continued structural support, but with a more natural aesthetic #Sheffield

St. Elizabeth's Home for the Aged (run by the Little Sisters of the Poor), Duchess Road.
Site now occupied by a casino, that has to be some comment on society #Sheffield

Called in at Bagels Inc. today for a very tasty lunch. I got the angle wrong (I blame the rain), but here's..

What a strange effect around the lamppost on Derek Dooley Way. Like it's holding back the cloud

I'd suggest 100's of them will be arrested over the coming days, weeks and months. Quite rightly too, the PA folks openly said they were told what to write by the organisers, when to hold the sign up and to sit there until nicked. Far different than throwing a punch or bottle then running away.

There's a police line , 1 deep, with opposing demonstrations either side trying to get at each other. So you suggestion is that the officers start making arrests and taking themselves out of the line.
That's a bit different than Street bailing Majorie to attend her local nick.

If said Grandma in a wheelchair, quite deliberately and publicly commits an offence under the Terrorism Act, she knows and welcomes the outcome. That's the MO, orchestrate huge 'I'm Spartacus' moments.
They could demonstrate their support for Palestine in a 100 more effective and practical ways.
