IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Attercliffe Common, SHEFFIELD, S9 2XB

A surprising location for a bank branch, rather out-of-town and arguably even out-of-suburb!

This George VI-reign postbox stands with its back to a grass bank which leads up to the car park of the public ice rink. The box is emptied finally at 6pm on weekdays and at 10:30am on Saturdays.

This grave, in the grounds of the Image, is the final resting place of infant brother and sister who both died on 14 November 1817, ages 4 years 9 months and 2 years 10 months. Also buried there is their brother who died as a 10-month-old baby four years later.

It finally got under way about 9.50, only officially it didn't! The start of the 2014 Sheffield Half Marathon as the organisers must have been deciding how they could tell the patient runners they hadn't enough water to meet official safety rules. Most of us ran unofficially anyway and there's a storm rumbling as to how and why it all happened. Note the lack of police and officials to explain and stop us, the loudspeakers being inaudible to most of those assembled here.

Another view of the Image, from the main road and across the churchyard.

This tiny chapel is surrounded by an industrial suburbia and is not easily spotted from the main Attercliffe Road. A plaque on the outside wall of the grounds (the churchyard was firmly locked) states that it was built in 1629 mainly at the expense of the Bright family of Carbrook Hall, and was the sole Anglican church for Attercliffe until 1826. The churchyard contains memorials to many famous Attercliffe residents, including Benjamin Huntsman, inventor of crucible steel. For the view of the chapel from the main road, see Image

History does not record if they did, the race being officially cancelled, but at this point they were having great fun.

A large sports centre comprising large indoor athletics track, badminton hall, gym etc, and the World Snooker Academy. This weekend it was hosting the final qualifying round of the World Snooker Championship, ahead of the main event at the Crucible Theatre in the city centre next month. To allow public spectators, the matches were taking place in the badminton hall rather than in the Snooker Academy.

The 2018 Snooker World Championship Qualifiers took place at the English Institute of Sport (EIS). The tables are ready for the start of play.
