We visited
Brodsworth Hall in Yorkshire and had a short hike in the Monsal Head in the Peak District.
This area is famous historically for
wool, textiles and
metalworking. These items were on display at the Millennium Museum in Sheffield. There were also egg toppers, spring scissors, Argyle (gravy server) and much more.

| 1850's |
Sheffield historic sites, include this
police box (used 1928 - 1960s) with telephone connect to the local station before individual homes had phones and an old public system of
standard measures presented by the local earl (and mayor) to the city in 1910.
Back to the beach . . . ever tried Nordic pole walking on loose sand? Also did a bit of sea swimming.
