Steel City Snapper photography
35mm, medium format and large format film photography (with the odd bit of digital every now and then…)
At the bottom right of this shot you can just make out a side-track that joins this road. Let me assure you that, despite appearances, and in spite of the frosty and icy ground, it was very muddy!
Worth it to get this picture, I think, although there was more mud to come later in the hike…

The B6067 heading east through Aston to the east of Sheffield. This road used to form part of the the A57, which runs from Liverpool on the west coast of England all the way to Lincoln in, er, Lincolnshire to the east of the country. It lost this designation when the Aston relief road was built – part of a new route taking traffic more swiftly into and out of Sheffield city centre – which now bears the A57 name.
This stretch of road forms part of the route I would take to Mablethorpe with my grandparents (and sometimes my parents) when I was young. Even though it’s no longer necessary (and slower) to follow this section when I visit Mablethorpe on my occasional trips, I sometimes make the detour to follow it for nostalgia’s sake. It’s a much nicer section of road than the bypass.
Just past Aston Hall
And a row of big houses
The road heads out east
