The railway line from Sheffield having arrived within the confines of the steelworks - perhaps one day this line will be a passenger line to Manchester??

Dist:0.1km<br/>This church was built in 1890 as a memorial to Samuel Fox, founder of the Steelworks in the town. As seen in the picture ... next door to this fabulous Church is ... the not so fabulous, Solar Panelled Town Hall (complete with modern extension)! [[1054927]]

Dist:0.1km<br/>A nice building ... but, in my opinion spoiled by the unsympathetic extension and (ugh!) the solar panels. Let's hope they applied for permission for these ... and got it! [[1054934]]

Dist:0.2km<br/>The extension to the Town Hall has recently been re-furbished ... whilst the previous decor was very 60's I'm not sure this is any better! Why don't the 'Planning Committees' insist on buildings which are more sympathetic to or match the original building? [[1054927]]

Dist:0.2km<br/>The Clock Tower was completed in 1923 as a Memorial to the 106 Men and 1 Woman, from Stocksbridge, who lost their lives during The Great War (WW1). The names of the 51 who lost their lives in WW2 were also added. The Tower is at the top of the Clock Tower Gardens and, not surprisingly there are great views over the Stocksbridge Valley and Hunshelf Bank opposite ... including that Communications Aerial!

Dist:0.2km<br/>This tower is a monument to the Steelworks! ... well it's part of the Steelworks anyway. [[1032021]]

Dist:0.2km<br/>This picture links off to the left with the 'Samuel Fox' and 'Corus' pictures. The piece of road between 'The Lunchbox' and the 'Bollards' is actually a bridge over the original course of the Little Don (or Porter) River. This bridge was on some land owned by a Mr Stocks so it became known as Stocks Bridge ... so now you know! The 'Lunchbox' House and the Prospect Cottages Terrace behind are both shown on the 1903 Stocksbridge Map and will have seen many changes over the years. [[1032046]] [[1032069]]
