Revisited an old friend at the bridge over the long abandoned Salcey Forest railway line near Piddington.

And thence on to the St John the Baptist Church in Piddington.

Trig point?

 

[Drago]

There is one about a mile to the NW which I will one day be visiting.

Mixenden Road, just before the junction with Hollins Lane

Hope Hall, South annexe. Clare Road/Hope Hall Street.

Top line is over 7 inches long.

I also spotted this gem.

Neighborhood Watch must not have caught that.

One on a gate post on an entrance to St Peter's Church, Swettenham, near Holmes Chapel. The pub behind is really good aswell.

Barnsdale Road (A656)
Allerton Bywater

North Eastern Railway
Leeds & Castleford Branch

It's the road from Castleford, via 'Peckfield Bar' (where A63 crosses it), to HookMoor, where it rejoins the A1...…… having left it, following the old Roman Road, at Barnsdale Bar (south of Pontefract)

I use this road a lot, but have never seen the mark before, as usually I'm in traffic, but today the Sun was catching it, & it was a relatively traffic-free time of day (circa 12:50 - 13:00)

Looking west off the bridge, to the previous site of the station






Looking up 'Barnsdale' towards Mary Pannnal Hill



The site of Ledston Station, seen if you scroll down to the correct section here (3rd photograph. below maps); http://www.lostrailwayswestyorkshire.co.uk/Castleford Garforth.htm


The bridge forms the crest of the hill; http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/258895
Looking east, towards the Aire flood-plain; http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/121899

Which was crossed on this bridge, now extremely rickety (& not used); http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2869303


EDIT @ 17:23
What is interesting, is that the 1905 (25" - mile) OS map shows the mark on the opposite parapet

Similar for North Bridge. The map shows them on the Western Side, but they're recorded on the Eastern Side.

Barnsdale Road (A656)

Top of 'Mary Pannall Hill'
(to the Ledston Luck side of the cross-roads)
'HookMoor Branch' refers to this being a continuation of Barnsdale Road, which left the A1 at Barnsdale Bar

It follows the route of the Roman road, passing through Pontefract, meeting up again at Castleford, before rejoining the A1 at Aberford (HookMoor)

Planning this weekends big loop (I'm hoping to bag a dozen in one ride) and I noticed the route takes me past and old water tower. I googled it, and found a website that might interest my fellow explorers...

Local "Area 51" has a WWI bunker less than half a mile from the listening post.

Rumours there's a Cold War bunker in the area as well. To the North East.

Somewhere, I have a pic of my Defy2 by that tower, taken a few years ago! I'll try and find it.
If memory serves, it is on Sustrans Route 6

@Drago

This is the nearest pic to the tower I could dig out from my backup files. August 2010, on one of my first rides on the newly acquired Defy2

I have done this benchmark before it's on the old bt exchange just outside Yardley Hastings.
