From today's ride, not sure if a bench mark or a piece of graffiti? It's near Davenham near Northwich on a bridge over the river Dane. Nice spot though whatever it is.

Yep, that's the one! And another on the church next time I'm passing, thank you.

A couple of new benchmarks this morning

First one is an Australian one on the entrance to Start Marys Hospital, London red Kettering.

Next one is just behind a telegraph pole in front of Scaldwell Hall .

(quite literally ) Stamford Bridge
On the A166, about 7 miles north-east of York

This is on the base of the bridge on the down-stream/town-side of the bridge, only just uncovered (there's a flood bank being built up
I only spotted it by chance, as I was looking for the bench-mark



It's located on the extreme far right of the bridge; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/9390

Here's one that some, even in Tadcaster (less than a mile away), don't know about

Kettleman Bridge
It spans a (now) underground stream.

Standing at the confluence of the River Wharfe & Cock Beck, just downstream of Tadcaster. This bridge was in existance circa 1400.
It was partially buried under new flood control embankments that were built up in the 1970's.
Up to 1965 it span a loop of Cock beck before it joined the Wharfe. There was once a stone built staithe here where quarried stone was probably transported to York

Surprisingly, it's not even on 'Geograph', or 'British Listed Buildings'
This shows the location though (in central blue 1km square)

Even the Bus shelters there are informative, about the local history

I did try to find the mark on the bridge itself, but there's been some new stone-work, and a few flakes/impact damage, so sorry

From today's ride. It was on a gatepost on Throwley Moor, near Ilam. No gate, no wall or fence, and only one solitary gate post. It was on a downhill and I just happened to spot it as I flew past (I wasn't looking for one, and was quite surprised to see it).

Aberford Road
It's still classed as Stanley, at this point, even though it's now past the City Of Wakefield sign

Yep!!
In as much, you can have a 'favourite, this is one that I pass on a semi-regular basis
It's nice, & partially hidden from site
I'd guess that not many vehicle drivers/passengers know it's there








Rather curiously, this one (mine, above) isn't on the OS mapping, but its 'sister', a mile to the north (towards Aberford, & now; the M62) is marked

I don't think I've added this one before,
It's a fair bit bigger than others, &, with a back story

It's the 'Control Tower', at Boshaw Whams Reservoir
Strines Moor Road
(south-east of Holmfirth)

See below the images

This was one of the (very) few undamaged sections;
