Trans Pennine Trail I'd forgotten the location of this image, luckily the council had kindly marked it on top of the signpost.

Trans Pennine Trail I'll be honest, I couldn't remember exactly where this image was taken but I'm sure the locations given aren't too far out, it was near Thurlstone or Millhouse Green.

This section of the Trans Pennine Trail follows follows an old railway line coming through Penistone - I believe it went to Manchester but again would need checking.

Thurlstone, Nicholas Saunderson One of the famous men of Thurlstone, Nicholas Saunderson, this is a plaque on the side of the house he lived at.

Born in 1682 and blinded by small pox aged one, Saunderson went on to be a brilliant mathematician, scientist and teacher, and because he was blind he had to find alternative ways to work out arithmatic so developed a board with holes that he used and improved throughout his life.

To give you an idea of his stature and abilities, he held the same position - Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge - as Steven Hawking and Isaac Newton.
