Game: Name that road!

[Ming the Merciless]

Only if somebody switched on a temporal distortion field...

That will be it!

Station Rd nr Harecroft

Once I'd correctly interpretted what you meant by 'and just'... i stopped looking just within a 50 mile radius of Todd and quickly found it just on the edge of a townvillage

oh bugger, that means i've got to find another road to post

 

[MontyVeda]

Hope @ColinJ doesn't mind me posting the next road without confirmation...

Name this road:

 

[ColinJ]

I will post a few things about my last road and clues when I am back on my laptop and will have a look for the new one. It looks vaguely familiar!

 

[ColinJ]

Ok, here's one a little bit off the beaten track...

Perhaps it would be out of line to give you a hint at this point!

References to a railway line/track.

There's a bridge visible on the RH side, but can't see any OH cabling so maybe a disused railway

Thank Beeching for that! The magnificent structure to the right is Hewenden viaduct. It is now Grade II listed.

A cycle path has been constructed from Cullingworth over to...

Building in the middle could be a public house,

The former Wilsden station building.

Littgull and I decided to cycle over there and check out the viaduct, which is.... fantastic!

If you read the Wikipedia article I linked to above and the links from that, you will see that there efforts afoot to extend this cycle path further along the route of the disused line. There are some tunnels which need to be restored first and it is not certain that they will be. Fingers crossed. This would be a really nice way to get in and out of the western side of Bradford via Queensbury.

also a few curious things on the horizon (which could be dirt on the lens). A potential mast or tower between the two electricity cables

The Ovenden Moor windfarm is up there so you might have spotted some of the turbines. Bradford university also has some weather research buildings on Cock Hill between Oxenhope and Hebden Bridge. They might be some of the lumps in the distance.

Ok, on now to the search for the current road...

As usual, all your hints went right over my head. I just noticed the arches in the picture

Well done. I started off around Chipping and was about to head north but you got there first.

I would have been fairly confident from a look at the OS map without even going to Street View...

 

[Sea of vapours]

I'm confident of that, so I'll post the next one and apologies to @MontyVeda for not waiting for actual confirmation.

No worries SoV...
but you failed to actually name my road, which is really really naughty in this game.
I might send Colin a PM and ask him to change the name of the game so it's a little clearer

Fair point. My apologies. That's Dalton Lane, leaviing Burton-in-Kendal on its way to Kirkby Lonsdale (viewed towards B-in-K).

I've often wondered whether pictures of roads without any name are inadmissible, but I don't think anyone's ever complained (about my pictures that is).

Tow Top Road!

Another interesting and very tough-looking climb!

And as unsuitable for HGVs as they come...

I think anonymous roads are fine, but we must be able to check them on Street View!

Perhaps 'Locate That Road' would be a better title but I don't think it really matters...

 

[ColinJ]

Although I obviously have the right road, I will wait until lunchtime (Tuesday) before posting my next one. I have it ready to go. It should be easy so it will be a case of who spots the clues and checks the map first!
