A lot of people think that should be called the Aphrodite de Milos, but that's just a phallus-acy, Phallacy? I can get this joke to work, I can…

Why was I totally unaware of this building before now?

What is it? There's no Cadbury's factory in Sheffield is there?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Dec 28, 2021 4:39 pm

It's the Bassetts factory because Bassetts is now owned by Cadbury's.

by Butterfield Tue Dec 28, 2021 4:42 pm

I didn't realise there was a Bassetts factory in Sheffield. I know of the Rowntrees/Nestle connection with York, but that's a bit further up the road.

I meant to mention the splendid giant cranes on the edge of Sheffield that were all lit up in Christmas lights when I zoomed past on the M1 a couple of weeks ago. One included lights in the shape of a Christmas tree and the other a star. happy

Sheffield and Birmingham are interesting in that you can get a good look at them just by zooming past on the motorway. A lot of places, like Stafford, feature on the road signs for 3 or 4 junctions but just lurk menacingly on the other side of hills or cuttings so you never see them.

I think you can see Stafford Castle briefly from the M6 - and a tower block.

Stafford Castle seems to have gone missing. Colbert

I'm sure we used to see it lit up at night on the way back from Manchester in the 90s.

Stafford tower block. What a Face

by Butterfield Wed Dec 29, 2021 1:11 pm

A distant view of ~~downtown~~ Stafford town centre, including another tower block, from the M6 when it goes over the main railway line and a little river.

by Fangirl Three Wed Dec 29, 2021 1:56 pm

Good work Mr B. I'll have a look over in that direction when I cross the railway line and little river next week.

Ooh, it's quite near the fabled alleged planned site for 'Doxey Services'
