Hello All, I'm delighted to say that I have been shortlisted for European Heritage Storyteller of the Year for 'Drainspotting'. The link here is the just published submission which formed the final part of the process. There are now just 20 stories left in the contest (of which I am one) and the final 10 are announced later this month. Hopefully there will more updates to follow but thank you very much to all the people who contributed to this long running thread which was part of my story and supporting evidence

I contacted Amey in 2014 about the state of the boundary marker on Convent Walk, it was in an appalling condition and needed restoring, the photo shows the result. Not much care shown using green paint on the lettering but its better than the rust that covered it before.
It’s recently gone but the palm tree at Walkley always suggests a cocktail bar Leopold square when it was a proper old school local.
miss it massively.
