Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Google streetview suggests there's some form of building work going on there.

Will have a look next time I'm in the locality

I think it’s the work the uni are doing to save the old factory

Don’t go that part of town very often so may be wrong

I'm still sore about the ward's brewery closing.

You used to be able to smell the hops all the way down the moor.

The tanks probably are, but I saw them empty before it was filled in

They were *very* green towards the end.
