👍👍 This is a fascinating place for all those with an interest in the Industrial Revolution. Plenty to see with volunteers on hand to answer questions. When the engine is in steam you can really appreciate what a amazing piece of engineering it is.

Marmion Tower image

Marmion Tower
Historical place
👍👍 A monument of interest, right by the river, set in a lovely little village, easy to access and free to enter. However, there's not much to explore and watch out for the narrow stone steps. You can only get up as far as the first floor but the limited information on the plate outside whets your appet...

St Mary's Chapel, Lead
Anglican church
👍👍 This church may be tiny but it's very old and very moody! There is a real feeling of age and history here and it's well worth a look. On a sunny day the photos are great! (See my pics below).

Wincobank Hill Fort image

Wincobank Hill Fort
Park
👍👍 A much under used and historically significant area showing the areas tactical dominance over the don valley through the centuries. Great woodland area with paths and fantastic panoramic views, especially on the south side of the fort walls, which on a clear day you can see from Lincolnshire to the...

Hacienda
Apartment complex
👍👍 Before this closed down I visited one day to service their public payphone - behind the reception counter I saw a large wooden axe handle!!! - I wondered what that might be used for?? Respect for Tony Wilson - he was such a great Manchester bloke for setting up this club AND helping new bands get se...

Crosland Moor Stone Circle
Historical place
👍👍 A managed green with dual circle of stones, one inside the other. Not far from a local bus route-328 Balmoral Avenue, getting off at Foster Avenue and walking about 100yds to footpath at Woodside Road. There are plenty of other walks and fabulous countryside views around the area too. This circle th...

Robin Hood's Grave image

Robin Hood's Grave
Historical place
😐 Bit of an oddity this, waiting to get into my room which wasn’t ready and went for a walk to see this nearby on Google Maps. The position wasn’t quite correct on the map so I suggested an edit. It’s hidden away in woods, with no signage and no footpath and has unfortunately been left to rack and rui...
