You left me on the edge of Wicker, attempting to keep up with Mrs RM, an event that only happens when a) I stop to take photos of pub tiling or b) Mrs RM needs a loo stop.
Apart from the Asian takeaways and barbershops it was pretty dead.
But there’s always a reassuring glow coming from Carling pubs, even on Christmas Day. I should organise Xmas Day pub crawls.
Plenty of exploring still to do in Sheffield as we enter our 3rd week as Northerners. I’d completely forgotten about the wonderful pub on the banks of the Don. Which one ? Usual can of Stones to the winner.
We headed back through Kelham Island, and Mrs RM took some pics for her Facebook. They weren’t as good as mine of engines and Jarvis.
We used to bring the boys to the Industrial Museum years ago when they’d be compressed into steel in the play area while we’d nip out for a pint in the Fat Cat.
The area has developed beyond recognition in 20 years but still has a calm beauty.
But I’m glad we’re living a 1,000 feet up the river from the Don.

I’ll take your first answer.
Which is correct ! Where shall I leave your can of Stones (subject to availability, it’s very rare and all that).

Drop it off at The South Seas. I will collect it in 1983

A hundred feet above sea level and fifty above the nearest river or stream are the minimums.

I’ll wager that the massive, double cone-shaped vessel is a Bessemer converter, used in the manufacture of steel, but where’s Reg when you need him?

Bessemer ! yes, that’s the very word I was searching for, Paul. Knew someone in Science would know.

What about:
c) she smells 10% or better ABV nearby? 😉
“I should organise Xmas Day pub crawls.”
It will be a hit with better halves everywhere!
“Usual can of Stones to the winner.”
What? No Doom Bar?
“But I’m glad we’re living a 1,000 feet up the river from the Don.”
Agreed!
