This line caught my attention

this is Rotherham, South Yorkshire...a particularly discarded run-down town as you will find from some of my future posts in the area.

I looked up Rotherham's history. It goes all the way back to the Iron Age. The ruins of a Roman fort are there, and the remains of a 13th century abbey. Yet look how little time it took us, modern humans, to destroy Lady Mabel's College.

Maybe because this wasn't a personal residence, I don't see those traces of lives lived that are sometimes poignant. This just looks like destruction and decay.

There won't be much left for archeologists to explore a hundred years from now...
