Rain, a sculpture by Colin Rose consists of nine stainless steel spheres of varying sizes and can be found in Millennium Square, Sheffield. The spheres are intended to suggest drops of rain that have just landed on the surface of the square.

Monochrome Monday… The Angel, Ripley

I’ve not had much enthusiasm for photography this past couple of weeks, other than feeling a little under the weather I’m not sure why but I’m sure the feeling is something everyone with a hobby can relate to at some point…

But in a burst of enthusiasm I’ve spent the last hour digitising some negatives from 2015 that had previously ‘slipped the net’ and although I’ve found nothing spectacular it’s interesting to see what’s changed hereabouts in just nine years.

The Angel pub opened in 2004, converted from a building that had at one time been ‘The Jubilee Club’ dating from 1897. It was never a pub that registered on my boozy radar (although my step-mum regularly met friends there for coffee) and it closed down on 8 April last year.

Allegedly, the Angel statue (visible above the entrance on the right) and a number of the pub’s fittings were purchased from the set of the Carlton Television soap opera ‘Crossroads’ (a revival of the ATV/Central Independent Television series that ran from 1964-1988) the final episode of which aired in 2003.
