Yes, Leabrooks and Somercotes are still there. Somercotes cordoned off last week due to a serious assault in, of all places, the Co-op! Someone pinched someone else's Divi number, I think. Sadly, one person has died of their injuries so it is now a murder enquiry.

 

Somercotes has changed. The factories, including Viyella, are gone and replaced with the ubiquitous and predictable McDonald's, Aldi and The Range.  Probably looks better when it's covered in snow!

Facetious? Me? Come now, I wouldn't know the meaning of the word.  I don't honestly know what the incident was about except that it involved four men in the Co-op and one later died of injuries sustained.

 

Somercotes, sadly, is no stranger to murders. Some years ago, a young woman of oriental connections was brutally murdered on what had been the site of the Viyella factory, standing derelict and overgrown at the time. I believe someone was brought to book for that but it took some time to track him down.

Can I join you BK, your day looks better than mine ,I am at the clinic for blood tests one for the GP and another for the hospital. I am not bothered by the tests but my arm doesnt like giving blood, its not unusual for them to stick needles into me 4 times before giving blood. I told you I am a tight s*d.
