Penistone Street Views

Park Ave and High Street
First two are of Park Avenue. The small obelisk in the middle picture marks the position of a typical fire hydrant with a Large 'H' on a yellow background. The actual hydrant is hidden under a steel plate in the pavement. Most phone wires are underground too in the UK but you sometimes see a wooden 'telegraph pole' like this one.

RHS top row is on the High Street. The first looks towards the town centre and the nearest house was the old doctor's surgery (Dr. Masser's). LHS bottom row is at the top of Ward Street, looking towards what was Wiseman's grocers for more than a century but changed hands twice since then. In fact, they still sell wines and those lovely tubs of Yorkshire ice cream but they are mostly a sandwich shop now.

Last one is Green Park House old people's residence, not far from High Street. Barnsley Council wants to shut down to save a few pounds (now that they have all that lovely council tax from new houses in the area).
