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.

Two visits, one yesterday and the other today, to dodge the showers. Interior work on the Tesco store is well under way, with the final floor going in at breakneck speed. How these guys lay the floor tiles to line and level so accurately and so fast is beyond me. Also, the block paving for the Avenue (see Flickr)is going in, with its thin blue wavy line. The link road to the A61 is virtually complete, waiting for wearing course, with the new roundabout finished. The bus station has bus shelters. The mobility centre and new loos are nearly finished. The main store car park is looking more like a car park now than a building site. And the section of Bridge street north of the site, being improved by Derbyshire County Council, is looking nearly finished.
