A few from around what has been the local airfield(100 years ago), infectious disease hospital, local zoo, race course, WWII auxillary airfield, and now mainly used by a golf course/club.
Note the holes.

HCWW marker, cast iron so seldom just thrown away.

Mile Stone at a junction. Caused a slight hold up. One driver was so engrossed watching me, that he missed a change of lights.

Cheers for that. I wasn't even close :sad:

It's an 'observatory' (also referred to as a pillar) for the Grassholme Tunnel - an aqueduct which links Grassholme Reservoir to Hury Reservoir, built by the Tees Valley Water board between 1901 and 1914.

All the above derived from beautiful old maps , and the power of the internet :smile: -https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=54.5811&lon=-2.1043&layers=168&b=1

Now I've posted that link, I can guess what what most of you will be doing tonight :smile:

Happy exploring :thumbsup:

There are days when just 1 'like' is not enough
Cheers :thumbsup:

I use that site most days at work and it's superb - especially the 25" to the mile sheets. the downside is that it only covers one epoch

https://www.old-maps.co.uk covers many epochs, but the available scales and coverage are sometimes limited.

Between the two and the web I can I can get answers whilst getting paid :smile:

One from the Copper Kettle

Any ideas on these two?

Numbers are regular on these, placement isn't. No railway or canal nearby.

Unable to get in for this one

Whereas this has two uses. BM bottom right.
