‘My’ library as a kid, I’ve spent many happy hours there over the years. I also think it’s a fabulous modern building although WMDC have fine their best to degrade it with lack of maintenance and dodgy replacement glazing.

The old library (now museum) it replaced is also fabulous and was one of the first Art Deco public buildings in Britain when it opened.

Nice walk, but quite tough, yesterday, up from Hathersage taking in three trig points on Stanage Edge.

Firstly, High Neb. Good condition but top cap missing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next was Stanedge Pole, an easy walk to get to all things considered. The 'footpath' back to the clifftop was slightly squelchy in places. I'd hate to do it if it'd been raining!!

Pt2 to follow..

Final Trig was Stanage. It's a bit of a leap & a jump over boulders to actually reach, but I made it!
~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, back down the path in Mountain Goat mode, I got the Brommie out of the boot and rode into Hathersage village and spotted a reasonable Flush Bracket on the George Pub and an unusual old utility plaque near where I'd parked the car.

Fun day out, but quite tough walking most of the time!

Robin Hoods Well
This is between Barnsdale Bar & Red House (but only accessible south-bound)
A1

This was, as far as I know, built as a coaching inn, but at some point received an extension to the side
it can easily be seen, when passing the 'hamlet', southbound

It’s a curve, from the pre dual-carriageway days of The Great North Road, that was utilised as a lay-by, when it was ‘dualled’

There’s even a benchmark on it!
(on the photograph above, it’s on the nearest left column)

There are still also remnants of its time as the ‘GNR’/A1
Kerbstones & cats-eyes

This taken before the above shots, but shows the cats-eyes (or patches, where they were)

Not too far away, just off the Wakefield Road (A638) to the north-west of Red House, there's a Little Johns Well too; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/978841

I noticed this design of blockade for field entrances at a few locations this morning
It, presumably. allows agricultural machinery to pass between, but cars/vans/regular 4c4s will get caught up

Plus, it's a lot more convenient for the farmers than constantly lifting concrete blocks/tree-trunks out of the way
The only downside is, no guard against scrotes on motorbikes (but neither are blocks/tree-trunks)

It's adjacent to this sign (the club has a gated tarmac drive)
