The fact that the old Hallam Tower (left) was demolished in 2017 only to be replaced by that on the right 4 years later highlights all that is wrong with how we view buildings. Both concrete structures with huge embodied carbon - could the old tower not have been adapted?

Choosing who to vote for in #SheffieldHallam was easy. Choosing between @BBCNews and @Channel4News for election night coverage is not.

Reviewing historic Street View data (work related) for an area that happens to cover my grandparent's. I have just been retrospectively glared at by my late Grandad Terry for being a nosey beggar.

A subtle trolling from Lloyds Bank when renewing my season ticket this morning. (NB: I am not getting what I want, the price is not too good to be true and this definitely *is* a scam).

...and so it begins. With a bus. Malin Bridge and Middlewood to Hillsborough legs tonight to wet the whistle before tomorrow's main event. The Malin and Rawson our only certainties, but plenty to play with after Middlewood...

Stayed on Old Oak Common Ln working on Elizabeth Line for a few months one summer. Even as a part time pintman, lack of pubs was the least of it's worries...
Feel for the pintmen who live in this large, publess part of town
