Walking Toward Attercliffe

A windy day with the incipient threat of rain.

Walking along the canal to the Brewery of St Mars of the Desert for a drink.

The towpath was barred and gated, necessitating a diversion along the road.

Roads lined with long stretches of brick and concrete, punctuated by metal doors and gates, along with blank eyed windows, staring blankly at the passing parade.

The remnants of an industrial past, reduced to scrap.

A chaotic situation is always deliberately produced.

Ask yourself who or what sort of creature could benefit from such a situation.

Eventually, we arrived at our beery destination.

90 Stevenson Road S9 3XG.

We stayed a while – I suggest that you do too.

Here’s a previous visit to Attercliffe.
