It’s a History? The stripping of local heritage and rights of way.
Clay Cross Hall, built by George Stephenson, the guy who built the Rocket Steam Engine. Recently Sold by Derbyshire County Council along with land for it seems £335,000, less than a small local semi detached. It’s now fenced off so footpaths used for over a century are closed to all. Access to Sharley Park is also closed off. The building is bizarrely not a listed building, though is historically significant. There was no local consultation from Derbyshire County Council , I am unsure of the height if the fence, but again it has been used to block what I believe are right of access footpaths. The North East Derbyshire District Council and Clay Cross Parish Council are aware. I do wonder if there is a plan to keep the Hall usable or whether this building will fall foul of the same fire bug that appears before new houses suddenly are built. .
It's 8yrs since I started this blog. now in 2026 I am 59, and already medically retired due to chronic ill health. This site sets out my frustrations of how I see our country and world, and how I truly believe it needs to change.
I now absolutely believe democracy is either broken or a cruel hoax that was designed to keep society in its place, undrt the rule of what now we call The Establishment.
Iam still at time of writing this a SWE Registered Social Worker. I am unable to work but use my experience to aid and assist others pro bono.
In Lockdown I set up Vunteer Riders UK, we sourced, manufactured, delivered PPE throughout the pandemic, in excess of WHO standards, we got over 10,000,000 (10 million) pieces and sets out completely free of charge. Not a single penny changed hands. So when I see the corruption in The House of Commons and The House of Lords in regard to the Pandemic, I feel infuriated.
