Chesterfield Derbyshire 8th March 2022

The Iconic spire. Quite amazing isn't it?

I still don't understand how it stays up!!

Yes, the crooked spire we see from the train... I always thought that it was caused by a lightning strike sometime in the Middle Ages.

I read that too but I also read that it was designed this way. Who knows?

Beautiful church and image.

Thanks Jaap.

My place of birth!

Nice place.

Well, I was only hours old when I went from Chesterfield General Hospital to the lovely town of Bakewell in the Peak District where my Mother's family were based. Then at a few weeks old to Cornwall and then at aged 7 to London! But I consider Cornwall my home as I have much family there and lived there at various times in my life before work took me to Spain over 10 years ago. But I still have fond memories of Derbyshire which I also visited often as a child.

Hoffentlich ist der Turm stabil:-)

Hoffentlich!!

I'd never have guessed... I've never been to the UK.

Ah, but if you ever do Graham you will recognise Chesterfield now!

Very likely.

There's another equally twisted church spire at Cleobury Mortimer in Shropshire.
