When my wife decided she wanted to visit Meadowhall (the big shopping mall in Sheffield) and asked if I wanted to come, I agreed. My real motive was to let her look in the shops while I would explore the nearby Sheffield and Tinsley canal. The canal itself is only a few miles long, terminating at the wharf in Sheffield city centre. I've walked along the canal on a number of occasions, but never at the oposite end to the wharf (close to where it enters the navigable section of the River Don). The canal is very much in the industrial vein, traversing the heart of Sheffield's east end - once an area dominated by factories and steel mills, but not so much these days - with little in the way of bucolic scenes (although there are a few relatively tranquil sections). As the day was grim, overcast, and prone to rain, I decided to take the Holga and some expired film (images 1-5 on Tri-X, 6-8 on Tmax 400).
Not the best photos in the world, just a record of the walk along the canal.
1. This shows the view looking north-east just after the point I joined the towpath. The structure in the scene is the Tinsley Viaduct, where the M1 motorway crosses the Don Valley.

5. The occasional rose or other bloom can be found peeking out of the brambles and other scrub beside the towpath.
