About this blog


Clay Cross is a former mining town in North East Derbyshire, UK. In January 2010, work started on a major redevelopment project in the town centre. GMI Property Co. Ltd. have asked me to create a photographic record of the development, and how it changes the landscape, culture and people of the town. This blog is likely to be a diary of my activities over the next year or so.

For more information on the development see the quick links below. I've also created a Set on Flickr, where you will find a selection of the images I produce, and a Clay Cross Flickr group - see the quick links.

Another new view - this one from Bridge Street looking sort of north west towards the A61, and you can now see the houses on the main road. This is more or less the line of the new link road which will join Bridge Street with Derby Road.







Another visit to Clay Cross today, this time with some GMI people. I gather a number of you follow the blog regularly - It would be great to know who you are! Please get in contact. I'll be visiting the garage and the tyre dealers in Bridge Street, probably Thursday, to do some shots of how they are before they move round the corner to Lower Mantle Close. Work is about to start on some new light industrial units there, for them to occupy. And there's a rather large piling rig on site.
