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.

Most of the images I've made on the site before today are now unrepeatable. This afternoon, muckshift was well under way, with most of the site cleared of vegetation, including the bit between Bridge Street and the A61. The large factory unit at the south end of the site will start coming down tomorrow. There's a wheel wash, and a sweeper keeping Bridge Street clear of mud. It was overcast and cold, and I was about to head for home - and then the sun came out.
