Spanning the roads south-east out of Wakefield, for Barnsley, Doncaster & Pontefract

The mark is just on the inside face of the right-hand face

Despite riding/driving/running over this bridge for the 14 years we've lived here, I've never stopped to look at these before today!

All within 2 yards of each other

I'm not certain if I've used this before, but I'm not trawling through 140+ pages
So.……………….

Now we just need to know what the bottom row numbers are.

They've been partially surfaced over, during course of years
Are you suggesting I go on a 'dig'?

(now) Halifax Building Society building
The Springs
Wakefield


It's on the building with the blue fascia board, on the right-hand side of the road

EDIT @ 14:45

Coat of Arms, of the City Of London, apparently, & upside down here, as the Sword should be in the top-left 'quandrant'
Possibly something to do with the financial nature of the building?

I will find out

Town Hall
Wood Street
(this is on the Lee Lane, side of the building)




It's about 4 windows along from the street name sign, on the side facing the camera

It appears that the reasons are more prosaic than that, as there was a pub here called the 'London Hotel'
(I can't remember it)




Maybe, a reminder, as a previous building, of the Mail/Staging-Coaches that ran from Wakefield (or called en-route, from Leeds?)


EDIT @ 21:10
Can the old B&W photograph be seen?

Inchinnan, Braehead

Faint but still noticeable..

Not a NBM but found this on this, a navigation light (Erskine)

The light...

A few finds from yesterday's jolly around Cambridgeshire..

Still in use, a VR letterbox in Grantchester.

Nearby, a utility marker in Trumpington.

Behind a security fence, is TP7125, New Farm, t the end of a bridleway. I did think of climbing over, but didn't want to end up clipping in to the top . Years ago, this replaced the nearby TP3083 that was removed in 1950 and reused as Pudding Hill, Bracknell, TP 5536. Now that's recycling!

A Zoom shot. The FB is half covered in the ground, but intact by the bit I could see.

A few miles away is Lords Bridge TP4543, that might be the lowest Trig Point around. 24 mtrs!
Just to the laft of my helmet can be seen one of the university telescopes. (More on those later.)

Top spider is gone, and filled with pitch or summat. FB is in good nick though.

On the way back from New Farm, I checked Great Eversden church.

Final one, for this post, is a BM on a bridge in Fen Drayton.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Only one find today..
Alexandria, Main Street, gatepost

 

[PeteXXX]

A few more from t'other days' jolly around Cambridgeshire.

A pillbox, near Fen Drayton, that guards the A14 roadworks. I've spotted it through the undergrowth many times as I've driven past, but this was my first opportunity to actually visit!

Through the gun port, looking to the left.

Though the gun port, looking to the right.

The next find was opposite the Park and Ride, in St Ives, where my ride commenced and finished. (I drove to the car park, rode to and around Cambridge for a family visit)

There's access, but there's another bar welded just inside this grill. I couldn't see anything of interest in there either.

One more post to go on this foray!
