Two-page spread from RETRO-BLOG "Although I founded the #Sheffield Psychogeographical Association in 1999, I don't know what 'psychogeography' means... I think it's something to do with taking pictures of walls and pretending to find boring places interesting."

Weston Park #Sheffield 13.12.25 When I first saw this from a bit of a distance I thought it was a child of flesh and blood sitting next to his grandma. "Created by artist Anthony Padgett, the statue in Weston Park depicts Picasso as a boy holding a peace dove..." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tell me, little brother, have you passed out on mushrooms & inadvertently snapped the footwear of sundry Anarcho-Punxes at a free festival c.1984? Indeed, I have not, o pilgrim! These are the boots of a soldier, fashioned in granite, an oft overlooked detail of a memorial to the dead in Weston Park.

Scenes from GLASTONBURIED 22 Sometime - Maybe Never Glastonburied Issue #0: Many a Mickle Makes a Muckle for Michael Glastonburied Issue #00: A Confederacy of Dunces Glastonburied Issue #000: Return of the Mac Apparently it's satire. Who would have thought it? I thought it was mockery and scorn.

KRRK KRRK... Long live AI! Were it not for AI summaries, I wouldn't know what I was going on about... STOKED

THE ABOMINATION OF NOS? Have you ever wondered if Chris Brain | NOS had something along the lines of Jim Jones | Peoples Temple in mind? sheffpatgrp.bandcamp.com/album/planet... mikemorrell.org/2012/03/the-...

Those Who Do Not Remember the Past Are Condemned to Repeat It jonestown.sdsu.edu

Wild dogs of Chernobyl. That one at the front bears a striking resemblance to the leader of the pack that molested me in Crookes cemetery earlier this year. I suspect they were police dogs in training.

Ian Curtis singing ‘Autosuggestion’ in Holland on me telly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Tqw... I used to think it was a shame that it cut off suddenly before the end but now I think it’s quite fitting.

PUNX NOT DEAD! The other members of the group were Spikey Pat and Phensedyl Fred. A tale of personal trauma, substance abuse and political violence... They split after a disastrous gig at Barnsley Liberal Club (a kind of South Yorkshire Altamont). CHAPELTOWN PUNX DEAD FOREVER! Likely story.

Selected photographs of the Crookes Ash Tree, 2011-2025.

Two versions of Dionysus and a couple of his ecstatic worshippers.

Dread Assyrian chicken god and pals, British Museum.

MAKING SHEFFIELD GREAT AGAIN! The Fab Three! The Great Triumvirate! SCC CEO, Kate ‘Death Disco’ Josephs; Talking Web Page, Public Health-bot & Kevin the Teenager tribute act, Greg ‘Felly’ Fell; South Yorks Mayor-meme, Oliver Cop-out. Yay! Go guys! Go Team Sheffield! Where would we be without them?

Beverley Minster, which seems far too large to be supported by the town.

The realisation came to me fully formed as I was watching that Joy Division documentary from 2007 for the 5th or 6th time: Genesis (Breyer) P-Orridge’s fatal flaw was that s/he was incapable of sincerity. sheffieldpatrolgroup.wordpress.com/2017/09/13/g...

The evil monolith that is One Blackfriars (and environs) during the latter stages of its construction.

Clockwise from top left: Buddha hand - Medusa - Eros - Min - the picture that Ian Curtis used to take into the barber when he fancied a haircut. The Ashmolean Museum in #Oxford is well worth a visit if you're ever down that way.

Wonders of #Bakewell 2005. I firmly believe that the medieval stone carvings in the porch of All Saints Church were modelled on real life former inhabitants of the town.

Wolstanton Marsh, 1975-2004. This is where I witnessed the transformation of a cat from a common creature of flesh and blood into an archetypal feline form. I also used to come down here with a bottle of Merrydown cider to read The Heart Sutra but I had no idea what it was going on about.

The Star Tavern, Belgravia, at the head of a mews just around the corner from Dion Fortune’s former temple. A good Fuller’s pub with interesting stained glass style windows. I’m told that it’s haunted by a ghost known as The Man in Beige.

Assorted Egyptian gods, priests, offerings and tombs, three for the price of two at the British Museum. Do you think Aleister Crowley was inspired by that geezer in the snake hat? Here's the best Crowley inspired 'song' I know of: sheffpatgrp.bandcamp.com/track/magick...

Designs for Julian Cope’s new hat and shield. He is looking forward to wearing them the next time he heads out to that biker bar on the outskirts of Tamworth for a pint and a half of mild and bitter.

The Scarborough Grand Hotel, destination of choice for old people who want to experience the delights of untreated sewage spills in South Bay and food poisoning.

A place for you to inscribe your slogans – a slogan frame. Longfield Road #Sheffield 13.11.25 not that it matters it could be anywhere but it couldn't be anywhere without being somewhere could it?

22.11.25 Strangers often comment on the quality of the brickwork and pointing to be found in the moderately well-to-do suburbs of #Sheffield This is somewhere in the vicinity of Crookes. I won't reveal the street name to save the inhabitants from the attention of hordes of brick admiring tourists.

A photograph of Siouxsie and the Banshees, with Siouxsie looking very young and less stern than she usually did, although it appears that she might be mobilising her features to settle in a familiar scowl.

Internationales Jahrbuch für die Nietzsche-Desperate Dan-Forschung Abstract THUS SPAKE DESPERATE DAN Explores the multifaceted dimensions of The Dandy and Desperate Dan-Nietzche mimesis through the lenses of weird, eerie, and liminal spaces, drawing on concepts from psychogeography and hauntology.

Margaret Thatcher was a terrible wicked villain, the enemy of the people, the enemy within.

22.04.18. Malevolent multi-Manson materialisation manifesting on me wall…

1. The Stonebreakers. The entrepreneurial realist Courbet. 2. Never Work. The tyrant Debord. It's interesting that the English pronunciation of Debord sounds very like 'The Bore'.

Crosspool in the days when it was an interesting looking place, before it was fashioned into the dullest suburb in the whole city state of Sheffield.

Cobden View Road #Sheffield 16.11.25 Coven. Cobden-Coven.

Moved to Sheffield for teacher training, didn't vibe with housemates, spent time solo in pubs. Met cool group @ Grindstone, girl introduced me to NOS. Services amazing. Got involved, met Chris. Things got messy when stories came out. Felt betrayed. #LifeJourney #Sheffield #NOS #FaithAndBetrayal

The Reconfiguration of Stratford, East London. We could have had this… Fun Palace dream, 1954/64. (We were never going to get this). Instead, they imposed this… Nu-Stratford Nightmare, 2018 - date. (This was inevitable and is ongoing).

Broomhill #Sheffield 08.11.25 Is it to encourage reflection on the idea that 'schizophrenia' is a transformative state involving an attempt to cope with living in a sick society? A marker of a recent diagnosis? The work of a schoolchild who thinks that schizophrenia is fab and groovy and cool?

13/11/25 I have a fondness for flowers that hang on until late autumn but is this a sign of resilience or are they out of time latecomers destined for the oblivion of destruction? There seemed to be a few of these about. Maybe they're renowned autumn blooms. How would I know? Am I a country bumpkin?

Woe and alack! Nary a listen to me Bandcamp jewels! It’s so hard being a misunderstood genius like wot I am. sheffpatgrp.bandcamp.com

Leaves, 08/11/125. There is an Icelandic indie band called leaves, formed in 2000 and still going, apparently. I saw them play at The Boardwalk #Sheffield 16/08/25 and wrote (amongst other things): "As the pig is to the Stannington farmer, so the elf is to the resident of Iceland..."

Eric Ravilious was keen on depicting hill figures in his work from time to time.

Off Brunswick Street #Sheffield 6 December 2017 Not at all far from here libcom.org/article/shef... Although you wouldn't know it to look at it. Think Notting Hill type gentrification (different time & space, extended incursion) with cheaper prices & less attention paid to what's going on overall.

Moor Market #Sheffield 14 January 2017 It doesn't really show on this photograph but the ceiling of the market building is far too high, giving it an unheimlich and anti-human feel. Developments that are too large for the environment, or the people in the environment, are often disturbing.

West Street #Sheffield 7 December 2017 Has someone gone awry in their depiction of the Hieroglyphic Monad, you ask. No, they have not. They have succeeded in capturing the very essence of Frank.
