SIX EDGES WALK NEAR BASLOW🔥
WE WENT FOR AN 11-MILE WALK IN THE PEAKS…ONLY 40 MINUTES FROM NOTTINGHAM & WITHIN TWO MINUTES WE NEARLY STEPPED ON AN ADDER.
A FULL "WELCOME TO THE COUNTRYSIDE" MOMENT.
THE SIX EDGES ROUTE IS UNREAL:
BIRCHEN EDGE → WHITE EDGE → FROGGATT EDGE → CURBAR EDGE → BASLOW EDGE → GARDOM'S EDGE
NONSTOP VIEWS & BIG SKIES AT EVERY TURN.
HALFWAY ROUND WE STOPPED AT THE GROUSE INN FOR A PINT & A FISH FINGER SANDWICH.
AND THEN YOU FINISH IN THIS BEAUTIFUL FOREST,
ALL SOFT LIGHT & MOSSY PATHS.
THE PERFECT COOL-DOWN.
IF YOU NEED A RESET THAT FEELS LIKE A MINI HOLIDAY,
THE PEAKS ARE BASICALLY ON OUR DOORSTEP.

SNEINTON MARKET, BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE. ✨️
FIVE RESTORED PHOTOS FROM 1938 & THE 1950s.
BEFORE THE AVENUES. BEFORE THE CREATIVE QUARTER. BEFORE THE HIPSTER COFFEE & ARTISAN EVERYTHING.
THIS WAS WORKING CLASS NOTTINGHAM. A MARKET BUILT ON SECOND HAND CLOTHES, FURNITURE, POTS, FRUIT, VEG, & PURE SURVIVAL.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU WATCH:
💚 THE MARKET STARTED IN THE 1850s, AN OVERFLOW FOR OLD MARKET SQUARE
💚 IT SAT NEXT TO "THE BOTTOMS" - SOME OF THE MOST CRAMPED HOUSING IN THE CITY
💚 1934 SLUM CLEARANCE WIPED OUT FIVE STREETS AROUND IT
💚 THE WHOLESALE MARKET OPENED IN 1938, WITH THOSE ICONIC BRICK UNITS YOU STILL SEE TODAY
💚 BY THE 70s & 80s IT FELL INTO DECLINE
💚 AND THEN, LIKE NOTTINGHAM ALWAYS DOES: IT REINVENTED ITSELF INTO THE CREATIVE QUARTER WE KNOW NOW ❤️🔥🔥
FROM ITS 1850s ORIGINS, TO THE 1934 SLUM CLEARANCE, TO THE 1938 WHOLESALE MARKET, TO ITS REBIRTH AS THE CREATIVE QUARTER.
THIS PLACE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT RESILIENCE & REINVENTION 💥💯
