Bears of Sheffield: #57 Beartanical

#57 of 61 big bear sculptures, this one was decorated by Vanessa Scott and is located in Graves Park. Beartantical was inspired by the artist's many adventures and relaxing days spent exploring the hills and woodland surrounding the city, and the afternoons she has spent gazing at the beautiful star shaped plants at the botanical gardens.

One of my favourite trees and I can't resist a photo when I pass by!

Brexit Bonus, Sainsbury's, Archer Road, Sheffield

Sainsbury's are doing their best to make it look as though the shelves aren't empty, but crisps and other potato products have been especially badly hit by supply chain problems in 2021. Apparently, a lot of our crisps come from Ireland. Yes, really, we can't even get crisps from Ireland when we were promised that everything would be better after Brexit.

This is Lottie the Shire Horse's right eye. She is the biggest animal on the show farm which is popular with Sheffield families.

Man in the kiosk at Graves Park Animal Farm

He looked rather bored despite his santa hat. Midweek business was sparse. I asked him if I could take his photo and he kindly agreed.

Heavy goods 2-8-0 loco approaching Millhouses station in February 1962. The streaked and stained boiler well shows these work horse locos were not the pride of the maintenance department! (From an old Kodachrome transparency in poor light.)

Holy Trinity Church, Grove Road, Millhouses, Sheffield

View down Grove Road showing Holy Trinity church, built in 1937 in the "Arts and Crafts" style. Although taken in 1963, the scene has changed little apart from the demise of the gas lamps.
