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.

Cold, with snow in the air today. Trees and bushes are turning into tree stumps and piles of logs, which then disappear, leaving bare ground surrounded by Heras fence. The line of the new link road can now be clearly seen from the A61 south of the petrol station. Site clearance is also under way opposite Sharley Park.
Neil Wilson has contacted me. He lives and works in Nottingham now, but has a detailed and fascinating website about Clay Cross history and genealogy. I've added a link to it (and nicked an image...) Thanks, Neil.
