If it's flora or fauna yes you could find that in various locations but it still lets us see what there is to see at a particular location. I enjoy seeing all the pics submitted and have a better idea of a location. |

I would also say that I think Anthony's description of the town could apply to a lot of town centres these days, but Worksop is in a nice area or North Nottinghamshire adjoining the Nartional Trust Clumber Park and not far from what remains of Sherwood Forest. |

He obviously takes a great deal of satisfaction from being rude - as we have seen from his farewell message to the site. |

What I would say is the area is well worth visiting with Clumber and Sherwood Forest being high on my list. I can relate the rather ungamourous discriptions of Worksop to my own local area as they were also a collection of thiving mining comunities, but with the closure of the mines they too have seen some deterioration. In my own area we are starting to see some monuments to miners and mining being errected which hopefully I will get time to photograph in the not too distant future. Sorry if I have wandered slightly off topic but I hope my comments make Maurice feel a little better. Welcome to POE Maurice |
