Nice day for spotting some old bits and bobs around town - particularly like the 'Picture Post' ad here, and if you look closely there's a 'Players' ad in the square painted frame on the left too..

Had another ramble around Birchen / Gardoms Edge today, always a real treat! I found a few more intriguing things to add to my enthusiasts survey including this rather peaceful cairn amongst the birch trees...

This time last year I was out and about on #GardomsEdge here in the #PeakDistrict carrying out my first enthusiasts field survey - since then I've learnt so much about this wonderful location and continue to discover more.

Always nice opening up a project file from 5 years ago and everything still works as it should... Not such a common occurrence these days!

Something for #mapMonday (as usual thanks to @natlibscot.bsky.social maps online)
A fave spot and one that has provided plenty of inspiration here at 'Wingfield Manor' surveyed in 1898 - the farm is still currently in use, converted from existing estate buildings...

I've been collecting photos and drawings of #ArborLow over the past few years - this photo was included in the 'Ramblers Handbook' from 1928 and was taken by A. Holt. @derbyshirearch.bsky.social #stonecircle #PeakDistrict #oldstones

I've been indulging in some eerie late 1970s television lately, in particular I've been enjoying 'Leap In The Dark' which ran for four seasons starting in 1973.
'Come And Find Me' from Series 4 is a real gem, with some stone tape theory and voice phenomena thrown in for good measure...

Stumbled across #FlixtonHouse and walled garden today... Built c1800 originally as part of a farm, lots of nice bits and bobs in and around! My fave is definitely the base of this sundial(?)...

Some crumbling date stones here hinting at the original benefactors of the building (there are quite a few on the front elevation)

In a bit of a sad state now, lots of reuse over the years including plenty of ill-advised developments...

Been having a nosey at Holywell Cross church recently (I used to go there as a young'un as part of a music project) Looks like there was a school on Devonshire Street first, then the church was either added or replaced it in around 1881...

We went to Haddon Hall recently for their new exhibition 'Magic' which is well worth a trip - I've had an apotropaic nosey around there before but this one was new to me! Faintly carved into the inner arch of the main entrance way...

One for #standingstoneSunday - though doubtfully prehistoric, it's still always good to see a big old stone sticking out of the ground! This one is north of the A54 on the road to Congleton.

Had a brief wander around the ruin of Matlock Moor Farm earlier, lots of lumps and bumps around plus planting etc - I bet there would be plenty to find here.

A little throwback to a Scientific Rambles outing earlier this year in #EngineVein mine at Alderley Edge - I recorded various spaces as we explored and I'm in the process of formatting these for something new...
