Sterecycle site on Sheffield Road, Tinsley
One of many industrial units placed as close as planning allows to the pavement and to allow ease of access to maintain their plant. I thought Planning Authorities had the power to insist that industrial buildings were bordered with some decorative vegetation such as grass, hedges, shrubs, trees or even, dare I say it flowering plants where they meet public thoroughfares and rights of way. Even now, there are very few business sites in the area that have any 'landscaping' at all.

Old milestone
During the summer of 2018 the pavement was relayed and the plate disappeared from the stone. The 'authorities' were questioned and the plate was to be put back. It hasn't happened. But the stone remains by the side of Deadman's Hole Lane.

Old milestone
In March 2018 this milestone on the Tinsley to Doncaster tollroad (1764 -1873), now A6178, was the only one of the 5 remaining posts to have retained its plate.

Deadman's Hole
Cranes working at Deadman's Hole. I have read that Deadman's Hole and Deadman's Hole Lane take their names from human remains found in a nearby Roman cemetery.

Darwins on Sheffield Rd, Templeborough
One of the industrial 'barns' at Tinsley/Templeborough between Sheffield and Rotherham. How about some landscaping as there is precious little greenery in the whole area or are planners happy to leave near-by residents without any green space at all?
