The Ramblers retreat

Planning for the warmer weather has started and here is a great place to stop for a long lunch during a days walking. The Ramblers retreat, near Alton, is on my list for visiting later this year.

The Lion

The door way to the old police station in Leek, is it just me or does the shield over the door look like a grumpy Lion?

The Talbot, Leek

Over looking the Roundabout, the Talbot has seen better days, a wonderful building right in the heart of the town, left to rot.

The Roundabout, Leek

The roundabout at the bottom of Derby street Leek, a hot topic in the town at the moment due to plans for a new road lay out that would see the end of this, one of the towns major landmarks. There is a public vote on the 06/01 to decide if the plans get the go ahead.

I would love to see the roundabout stay, it is a unique feature in a town that is getting over run by chain stores and letting its old buildings decay in to ruin (see Saturdays post 08/01).
