Ramble Around Derby

We didn't want to go far this morning so we decided on a trip down the road to Derby to have a look at this hydro development.
It was -2 deg when i left home at 6:50 and got to 16 on the return.
We parked just off Handysides St. and walked past St. Mary's bridge and along the river past the council house.
I'm just adding a load of pics today for you to have a butchers at.

Just thought this was a nice reflection of the bridge

2 for the price of one.

I wondered where the Ram had gone

The Smithfield. The landlords name on the door is Mr. R Myring and someone told us it was Roger!!

The hydro development on the left.

I often wondered where the old Coop cow went.

Another view of the Hydro development.

The cathedral, Jury's Inn and the Museum tower

You just couldn't make it up!!!

What the hell is this all about.

Old & new

Roof tops over Derby Museum and art gallery.

This door in Saddlergate has a date of 1675 on it.

Derby Cathedral and St. Mary's in the background.

Another fine gate at the Slug & Lettuce

Bonnie Prince Charlie

Derby Cathedral, we did spot the Peregrine Falcon

There was one event that must be mentioned, when we were settling down to have our breakfast a dog came bounding up the track and before you could blink an eye it had eaten one of Ike's sandwiches. The dog was called Alfie,bow wow!!!

Breakfast stop in Allestree Park

What a relief

It took a while to realise this was stuffed.

Allestree Hall

There'll be one or 2 missing next Sunday so that's it for a couple of weeks
Cheers.
