Bole Hill Observatory

Introduction

The photograph on this page of Bole Hill Observatory by Graham Hogg as part of the Geograph project.

The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.

There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The observatory is owned by Sheffield University but is used very little, if at all now. Apparently a nearby housing development has ruined the view with light pollution.
