The 'Moss valley' South Sheffield.

Pictured from a local meadow known as ,. 'The Captain'... here is a view over the 'Moss valley' south Sheffield.. foliage is starting to show the Autumn colours but there is still some way to go yet,..

The valley was once a place of numerous water powered mills - the mill dams, coal mines and a railway for transport,. all now long gone.. but some ruins of interest do remain.

Did I ever tell you that my mum was born in Dore not far from here. Was in Derbyshire then ... I think boundary changes put it in Yorkshire (or was it the other way round?). Anyway a very fine shot, Dave!

Andy Rodker replied to David G Johnson:

Yes, it was so.
My great grandfather owned HHB Sugg (probably just as well as seeing that was his name!) the sports retailers and he made enough of the folding-stuff (or wonga, if you prefer), to be able to better himself and move first to Dore and then later to Bakewell. We're talking 1920s and 30s here but I fondly recall getting his take on all sorts of things, especially cricket, which runs in the family (he died at a great age when I was 20, so I do vividly recall his very interesting views).

A wonderful landscape captured in beautiful diffused light...........I love the early signs of autumnal colours coming through amongst the trees. Be good to go back in a week or so for another shot David.

Great work my friend.
