SELECTED TRASH REVISITED All Saints Church #Bakewell 02.04.04 Stone coffins.

The Moon, 25.10.26. Far out! Kosmische!

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Street preacher, Stratford Broadway, 02.06.16 For a long time, she specialised in one-word sermons. Her favourite seemed to be REPENT! Eventually, she moved into three-word epics, on one occasion accompanying herself on maracas.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Sordid Ditch, sorry that should read #Shoreditch 28.07.16 A large mural, on the side of a car park if memory serves me right.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED #Bridlington Beach, 29.10.09 The remains of a horned sea monster with eight holes in its head, bulging eyes and flaring nostrils with a startled death’s head beneath them. (I know what it is 'really' because someone told me. What do you think it is?)

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED William Blake Memorial Stone, Bunhill Fields, City Road, 14.10.O5 The old version. The new version is far more fancy and supposedly marks his actual burial place. memoirsofametrogirl.com/2018/08/05/w...

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Tomb of Hannah Courtoy, Brompton Cemetery, 19.04.04 Some people would have you believe it's a time machine.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED #Whitby 01.09.10 "This lady has told the fortunes of the rich and famous around the world! ‘Stars of the Screen’ past and present consult her now." These consultees include Alvin Stardust and Zak Dingle from ‘Emmerdale’.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Whitham Road Spiritualist Church #Sheffield 29.12.15 “To me the singing of the congregation sounds like horrid screaming. And when the people stop, the priest begins to scream.” - Kaspar Hauser. Or: “I used to be psychic, but I drank my way out of it.” – Mark E Smith

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED The Fawn, Shelton #Stoke-on-Trent 23.07.09 Associated: "Jabez turns right on Station Road. He sees through the brickwork & dull remodelling of the Roebuck Tavern & looks upon himself drinking a pint of Pedigree after communion with a crow on the streets of Shelton in 1984."

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED St. Peter's Churchyard #Stoke 14.08.04 A most curious memorial detail.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Kingley Vale, West Sussex 02.08.08 From 'Magick: Systems of Madness' "Magical significance might reside in: ...6. Kingley Vale..."

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Solomon's Temple, Grin Low #Buxton 01.11.07 From 'Magick: Systems of Madness': "Magical significance might reside in: ... 5. The Temple of Solomon on the outskirts of Buxton..."

Ladies, gentlemen and discarnate entities... Live from outside Moor Market #Sheffield - the Immortal Kaz! #girlpower sheffpatgrp.bandcamp.com/track/i-will...

Big up all the #Junglist massive! #Sheffield sheffpatgrp.bandcamp.com/track/origin...

#Sheffield Tarn Awl and Pea Gardens 17.10.26

CHAOS MAGICK AGA SAGA VASO MAIFIC AFL DAHE Ken Chaos - Colin Chaos - Charlie Chaos Hey, guys, recently moved between two parallel universes and discovered that this was a number one hit in both of them! sheffpatgrp.bandcamp.com/track/chaos-...

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Owlerton Church War Memorial #Sheffield 01.10.16 The memorial was unveiled in 1925 and the clock in the tower was erected in 1927. Owlerton and Hillsborough are supposedly different suburbs, but the reality of the walked landscape shows there is nothing to separate them.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Lydgate Lane, 23 January 2016 Crosspool Babylon Shack is or was located in one of the highest places for miles around. The mast behind the building can be seen from trains as they approach #Sheffield city centre after passing through Meadowhall.

SPG proudly presents HAIL HOLY CROOKES! A4 PDF e-book. 288 pages. 168 photographs. £4. To order, request a review copy, or for further information, contact sheffpatgrp@gmail.com or DM. “The last word on the ‘sixth coolest neighbourhood in the UK' (Time Out)" – Ken Crookes of Crookes in Crookes.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED St. Thomas' Church, Crookes #Sheffield 22.05.05. Before it expanded to its current cathedral-like proportions. I've often wondered where the money came from to pay for that expansion.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Wellington Street #Sheffield 15.11.07 Unrecognisable from the Wellington Street of today. It was a lot better in the old days.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Ebenezer Chapel, Shalesmoor #Sheffield 09.12.08 It's been transformed into one of these temples for modern living that are all the rage these days. It's just like being in NYC when you're wandering around Kelham Island on your way to the Kelham Island Tavern, innit?

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED The Wellington #Sheffield 08.04.10 Although I saw a ghost in Uxbridge, I don't believe in ghosts, but this room is haunted (this corner of the room in particular) and so is the room to the left as you go into the Fat Cat. And don't get me started on the Old Queen's Head...

According to the squares at Time Out & a host of unattractive petit-bourgeois positivity tyrants, Crookes is the 6th coolest neighbourhood in the UK. As the Koolest Kid in Crookes for the past 39 years running, I say that Crookes is the koolest neighbourhood in Crookes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Brown Street #Sheffield 31.05.12 The wall of the Rutland Arms. The work of the renowned street artist Phlegm, a resident of Sheffield, born in North Wales. I take it as a comment on the place of the individual and the futility of labour in the society of the spectacle.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Park & Arbourthorne Social Club #Sheffield 01.10.16 A horrible sight on a horrible road in a horrible place, but it was never the intention of the people that built the club or the road or the place that this should be so. It’s a sign of disdain for deprived communities.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Manor #Sheffield 01.10.16 Sometimes, place names seem to fit the areas they’re ascribed to, but not always. Many people outside #Sheffield hearing the place name ‘Manor’ would think of a pleasant location but as this characteristic photograph shows, they might be mistaken.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED South Road, Walkley #Sheffield 25.03.12 From 'The Sons of Amos Brearley' (2007): "Two police officers are approaching the Primitive Methodist Church on horseback. Furtive youth gangs scatter. The common people are talking about laminate flooring and preparing for Christmas."

Arts Tower, 19.09.26 I believe the University of #Sheffield Arts Tower is the tallest building in the whole wide world. From the top floor, you can see the Isle of Man in one direction and Norway in the other.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Castle Market, 30 July 2010 Castle Market closed in 2013 and demolition began in 2015. The indoor market has relocated to The Moor, on the other side of #Sheffield city centre. (In reality, #Sheffield doesn't have a centre).

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Netherthorpe #Sheffield 15.03.17 I don’t know how many dwellings can be found on each of the twelve floors of these Lego like tower blocks. It looks like there should be four flats per floor, but I’m sure that the council wouldn’t have been that generous in allocating space.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Kelham Island #Sheffield 10.03.08 I have no idea what this sign means. It seems to be forbidding something, but what it’s against, I don’t know. Entry into the otherworld? Consideration of the void?

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Sharrow Cemetery #Sheffield 16.05.04 Twilight... nightfall approaching... no-one around... The stupid star is an empty gesture, and the ridiculous symbols scattered about the outer circle are merely confirmation of the designer’s deep rooted halfwittery.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Marlborough Road #Sheffield 25.09.04 An act of violence presented as a work of art by someone who has no love for art. It’s fundamentally derivative, a meaningless gesture presented as an act of rebellion. Seen in a van parked outside the former home of Adela Pankhurst.

SELECTED TRASH FROM THE RUINS OF SOCIETY Nairn Street #Sheffield 27.11.08 The end of a terrace of three storey houses that curve in a rightward tending arch down to St. Thomas Crookes, the birthplace of the evangelical Christian movement or abomination known as the Nine O’ Clock Service, or NOS.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Bowcroft Cemetery, Stannington, 25 September 2004 Memorial stone of George Shaw, a Quaker who died at the age of 74 in 1708. Bowcroft Cemetery is a small Quaker burial ground situated just off Riggs High Road in Stannington on the outskirts of #Sheffield

Good old John Burkhill. "A pram-pushing fundraiser who has collected more than £1.2m for Macmillan Cancer Support has been honoured with a star on the #Sheffield Legends Walk of Fame." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Occasionally, people who are honoured deserve the honours bestowed upon them.

This Heat were a good group. I think this could be my favourite This Heat number: youtu.be/zG-q9Jozp4o?... I particularly like the change that comes in about 2 minutes in. Looks like all of their work is available on Bandcamp thisheat.bandcamp.com/music They put me in mind of Van der Graaf Generator

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Lodge Moor Bus Terminus #Sheffield 08.09.12 The pattern formed by countless buses setting off on their journeys reminds me of the rings of Saturn, surrounding the island-planet of grass & wildflowers that has probably reached its greatest height, following the end of summer.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Nursery Street #Sheffield 02.05.16 A view of the River Don towards Lady’s Bridge and The Wicker.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Approaching Forge Dam #Sheffield 21.01.12 When I first saw this carving, I immediately thought ‘Alpha and Omega’, but it’s extremely unlikely that this was the message that the artist had in mind.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Near Wire Mill Dam #Sheffield 11.02.12 This tree stands in the middle of an uncultivated field between Whiteley Woods & Whiteley Wood Road. Wire Mill Dam is situated on the other side of the road, which is narrow and leads upwards, following the route of an Iron Age pathway.

SELECTED TRASH REVISITED Manchester Road #Sheffield 20.11.11 West Royd Lodge. This building has always struck me as the headquarters or temple of an occult organisation. I don’t think it’s anything of the sort, but if it’s that much of a secret, you wouldn’t know anyway, would you?
