So is the TickleCock Bridge in Castleford, that caused an uproar, when the Council wanted to rename it to Tittle Cott

And as for the street in Whitby, to the south of swing-bridge, over the Esk/harbour...……….
(cuts a corner from Bridge Street, to Church Street)
I can't use the old name on here

Nowadays it's Grape Lane

In Victorian times, it was reputed to have been one of the haunts of the local 'Ladies of Negotiable Affections'
It was locally known as 'Grope... word that rhymes with the Foreign Secretarys surname; Jeremy Hunt) Lane'

Picture of the day? Picture of the year as far as I am concerned according to the Life of Beanz!

Wife lost her 38 year old son last month (May 8th). Last year her second son had been in the hospital 6 straight months with a massive stroke and heart attack. After years of dialysis for both boys, the toll has been taken. the second son is also not expected to live much longer.

She was off the bike for a whole year last year, came back for a few rides over 2 months then her older son passed away in May. Off again for nearly a month and a half but I was able to talk her into getting back on the bike.

Yes, she donated a kidney for her older son back in 2000. Only lasted a year.

So to you, this may just be a pic, but to me, pic of the year. Getting back on the bike after losing a son. I told her cycling was good for the soul.
