I was just about to say that in our part of Sheffield it sounds like a particularly vicious civil war has broken out...

I thought it was a lovely touch.

Thank you!

Feels a bit cringe asking but would you mind adding me?

This made a huge impression on me growing up, and it remains one of the most haunting and effective adverts I’ve ever seen.

A magical place (and I’m so looking forward to the landscape folklore book).

Robin Hood’s Stride in Birchover!

Can’t join the watchalong unfortunately but I absolutely love this film!

It was indeed! 🧙‍♀️

It’s from The History of Witches and Wizards (London, 1720); full text is here, woodcut at p. 28: wellcomecollection.org/works/abkab8...

It’s a go-to comfort watch for me too.

I enjoyed meeting these characters in deepest rural Derbyshire last month.

I enjoyed mine over the weekend! They’re all gorgeous, but I think this little house is my fave (adorable and creepy in equal measure).

Same.

The Cold War Bunker, the plague stones on Hob Moor, and the Tyburn execution site are lesser-known gems that I think will appeal to your sensibilities; also the Printer’s Devil effigy on Stonegate, while St Olave’s church and the adjacent ruins of St Mary’s Abbey are lovely.

I do! Other favourites were Frontierland (the stagecoach!), the crooked house (terrifying), and the little ensemble of elfin musicians in the tree stump.

Wonderful footage of this extraordinary place; it was a staple growing up (in Ryde) and profoundly influenced my tastes and interests also.
