Not a subject directly relating to Dinnington, but with the Penny Hill turbines going up at Ulley and Loscar churning away at Harthill the view from Dinnington Pit Top (I think we’ll be able to see them from up there) will be changing over the next few years!

Anyone who travels to Sheffield on the M1 like I do will have noticed the new arrival!

Here’s what Penny Hill will look like from Ulley when finished…

Few things polarise opinion like turbines, I used to hate them, but having gone and stood under the ones at Loscar and taken these photos it is really hard not to be impressed…

And with another farm being mooted for the Laughton/Firbeck area in the years to come who knows what the skyline will look like?

As ever feel free to leave your opinions of wind turbines or related topics in the comments section!
