Lapping the tail walker

My third and final lap and the tail walker's second at Hillsborough parkrun. The tail walker is a volunteer who fulfils a safety function on the run and ensures that no participant is the last to finish!

Burrowlee House, Hillsborough, Sheffield

The rear elevation of Burrowlee House from Burrowlee Road. This Grade II-listed Georgian property is the oldest building in the area and one of the first houses in Sheffield constructed wholly of stone. It was constructed in 1711 for Thomas Steade (1672-1739). The Steades, who also built Hillsborough House 250 metres to the west of it, were local landowners. Burrowlee remained a private dwelling until the 1920s although at some point it was divided into two. Eventually the house was purchased by the Council and used as offices and a clinic. In the 1960s it was and boarded up and might well have been demolished except for the fact that Sheffield City Council decided to renovate it. In the early 1980s the Education Committee used it a Community Education Centre until it was leased to Burrowlee Crafts and Designs for the manufacture of wooden furniture in 1987. In 2005 “Blenheim Park Developments” achieved planning permission to convert the house into apartments and, almost simultaneously, six new houses were built in the same style as the main house forming a complex currently known as Burrowlee Park Square. The terraced houses are situated in Broughton Road.

New Year's Day parkrun

Parkruns normally take place on Saturdays but extra ones are run on Christmas and New Year's Day. Some, like this one, start later than usual which allows keen runners to do two adjacent runs on the same day. This will have contributed to the record attendance of 579 at this event.
