Olivers Mount - Home of Handsworth FC FA Cup 1st Qualifying Round : Handsworth FC 2 Coventry United 0, Attendance 368
This is the new ground of a fairly new team, though it is hard to figure out exactly how long the real club goes back, it having emerged from an older one of the same name via mergers, name changes, and various relocations. Existence is sometimes tough in Tier 9 of the football pyramid it seems. (Tier 1 is the Premier League, so theoretically if Handsworth top their leagues, win playoffs, and carry out necessary ground improvements along the way, they could be kicking off against Manchester United in eight years time.)
The pitch is artificial, but there is a tannoy, as well as a bar in the clubhouse, which is further South at the entrance by the cricket field. Handsworth currently play in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division. Obviously the rules regarding alcohol in normal fixtures differ from FA-run competitions - repeated announcements were made advising spectators that today beers would not be allowed to be carried from the clubhouse to the playing area.
All clubs in the pyramid leagues down to Tier 10 can enter the FA Cup if they fulfil certain criteria - which most do - and decide they want to. The prize money for winning today&#039;s tie was £2,250. — Olivers Mount - Home of Handsworth FC Credit: Ian Dodds

Catcliffe Glass Cone

A well-known landmark at Catcliffe, the Glass Cone, a 70ft brick cone, was built in 1740 by William Fenney. One of the earliest surviving examples of its type and survives partly because it stayed in use until the early 20th century. Link

This row of terraced houses in Treeton were probably built for the once nearby coal mine.

Blue Man's Bower - Rotherham

Blue Man's Bower is an area of flooded grassland. It includes a moated, raised area which is a scheduled monument, first known record 1668. The "ditch" which the cows are grazing in, is part of the moat. Part of the raised area can be seen to the right of the picture. It is managed to prevent erosion by grazing livestock.

Bundle It Bridge

The advert from ntl encourages us to bundle all our electronic communications into one package. The railway bridge on the other hand carries an older form of communication over the A631 in Brinsworth.

Catcliffe Glass Cone

These are rare industrial monuments. I've already posted the one at Stourbridge.

Row of Houses Row of Cars

The row of houses have stood in one Mill Lane for the best part of a century. The row of cars had stood at the red traffic light over the narrow railway bridge for half a minute or so hence their close formation. Why do they always slow down when I stand and point my camera towards them?

Michael Patterson

Crownhill Road

Viewed from Bonet Lane, in the foreground, these 1960s(?) semi-detached houses lead the eye down the hill and around the corner. At which point the road joins the nearby A631.
