https://exploringtheunderbelly.wordpress.com/2013/01/28/firbeck-hall

Exploring the underbelly of doncaster…and beyond. January 28, 2013. Built in 1594 by William West, author of a legal textbook called “Symbolaeographia.”. Bought by Henry Gally in the late 18th-century. His son, Henry Gally-Knight, in 1820, substantially remodelled and extended Firbeck in the Elizabethan style we see today. Badly damaged by fire in 1924. The Hall became an annexe to Sheffield Royal Infirmary during the war. Apologies for the grainy pics, my camera decided today was ISO 1600 day) :banghead.

Exploring the underbelly of doncaster…and beyond. July 16, 2013. 8220;Minitron” is an offshoot of the River Don in the Kelham Island area of the city – no doubt in the past it would have fed many water wheels to supply power to the many metalworking factories in this area, but is now largely culverted. Some lovely stone work…. 8230;eventually leads to some spraycreted sections…. 8230;before there’s a brief open section…. 8230;then a stretch of RCP before it joins back up with the Don.

Balby Road Primitive Methodist Chapel, Doncaster | underbelly

https://exploringtheunderbelly.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/balby-road-primitive-methodist-chapel-doncast

Exploring the underbelly of doncaster…and beyond. Balby Road Primitive Methodist Chapel, Doncaster. June 18, 2012. Balby Road Primitive Methodist Chapel, Doncaster. There’s not much history about this place available, other than it opened in 1868 as a Primitive Methodist chapel. The Primitives were a radical breakaway group of the Methodist church and also had a Top Ten hit in 1988 with Crash. To make up for the lack of info, have a picture of a banner. The church finally closed its doors around 2008.

https://exploringtheunderbelly.wordpress.com/2013/02/17/harworth-colliery-conveyor

Exploring the underbelly of doncaster…and beyond. February 17, 2013. Harworth Colliery used a conveyor belt to move spoil away from the mine. The mine was put on “care and maintenance” in 2005 and not much has happened since. In total the belt is about 1km long. It’s a conveyor belt. A long, straight conveyor belt. You are going to see pictures of a mucky rubber belt. Lots of pictures of a mucky rubber belt. Looking back to the modern headstocks (1989 and 1996). And looking up the spoil heap.

https://exploringtheunderbelly.wordpress.com/2014/03/08/coal-housecouncil-house-doncaster

Exploring the underbelly of doncaster…and beyond. Coal House/Council House, Doncaster. March 8, 2014. Built in the mid-1960’s as the Headquarters of the South Yorkshire area of the National Coal Board. As a 16/17 year old, this was my usual view of Coal House as I made my way to school…pitched battles between the striking miners and the coppers and a daily interrogation as to where I was going dressed in my school uniform 🙄. As someone better than me once said…if it’s shite, make it black an...The Magis...
