Halfpenny Bridge

I have always had a soft spot for Jill Halfpenny so it was nice to see that the railway company had anticipated her celebrity with this bridge, over the River Don in Tinsley. 

Perhaps I need to get out less, as Tinsley seems such a convenient destination. There's a wide selection of bridges, a couple of viaducts, a biofuel power station, a canal, a railway and so much else.

Kilnhurst RC Church appeared almost derelict with a basic wooden chancel. However I was taken to task by a passing member of the congregation for photographing without permission. She told me there was a lively congregation. The mission across the road looked rather bleak and industrial so I was left impressed by the dedication of Kilnhurst Christians.

Is this the café society to which Tony Blair wanted us to aspire?
