| Coming from the north on the M1 towards that no-longer-Debenhams, there is the most humongous factory in the background, all rust-coloured and soot-ridden. It looks like a leftover from the industrial revolution/Sheffield Steel days.
I've tried in the past but I cannot locate it on Google Maps. I've wondered if it's a sort of mirage, or prism of light in the shape of a humongous rust-coloured, soot-ridden factory. |

Double entendre alert! I thought he was fairly tasty as dictators go. I'd have definitely had Saddam in his prime. |

| It's definitely over to the right/west/city side when heading south on the M1 - not the Rotherham side. |

| I THINK it's the building in the middle that looks like the roof has caved in - it looks much more "impressive" and sinister in real life. |

| My god. Some landscaping wouldn't have gone amiss. I see a hint of a lake that they could've made more of. |
