The CC Trig Point bagger thread, now incorporating other interesting geographs

[classic33]

Just up the road from the second picture in this post, opposite side of the road.

How many schools have a guard house like this?

The one this replaced was simply broken up and thrown.

Gibbet Street, near the high level railway.

Further down

Willing to trust a name like this?

And how the name came about.

It's origional location was further East, around where the block of flats stand in the background.

 

[classic33]

And for anyone who wondered about that opening at the side of the gate.

Any idea on what the piece at the side of the gate would be for?
Seen one other time locally, but that has since disappeared.

Not certain just how local this may be.

The clue is in the fact that both were hospitals.

Deliveries only, every delivery, when there was an "outbreak". Try and contain it. Both were in open locations, away from any housing at the time they were in operation.

A few from t'other days ride around the shire.

Firstly, a carving, in the stone portal, on Thornby Hall, now a Buddhist meditation centre, that some utter twonk has thought it acceptable to drill two holes and tap rawlplugs into!
Someone should do that in their head. Muppets
And breathe. ...

Then, in Hollowell, a slightly different cut mark on a cottage on the green.

Final find was just spotted, as I rode past, as the weeds were almost covering it, was in Little Brington, close to Nobottle Road.
I dig clear the weeds away to stop it getting lost forever.

As I took these, I had to step out of the way of 3 scrotes, riding along a bike-lane, on a Scooter, the wrong way, causing a bus to brake sharpley
They even give Scrotes a bad name!!!!

A cracking collection

Now we need to send you out photographing the vernacular style known as 'Halifax Houses'
Ie; Peel House, on the hill from Luddenden Foot, towards Wainstalls, or 'Wood Lane Hall, below the Church Style(?) pub up Sowerby New Road

A61 (Wakefield - Barnsley section)

In woodland just south of NewMillerDam, before the crossroads, for Royston (Vasey) & Staincross

An abandoned, & uncompleted (1930's) outdoor swimming pool, and Summer-House/changing rooms


There is an 'island' which may have been planned as a sun-lounging platform?

The summer-house remains

Steps into the pool, straight in front of the summer-house

It's shown on the 1955 map, as the rectangle, with the feeder pond to the west

The 'M.P' shown on the A61, is not there anymore

Earlier this afternoon

'Stennard Island'
Calder Vale
Adjacent to (the old) Wakefield Bridge (aka Chantry Bridge)


There was, in very late 1800s/early 1900s, a manufacturer of 'agricultural implements' here
Which was rather good placing, as there was the Aire & Calder Navigation Canal (see 2nd pic), & access to the goods yard of KirkGate Railway Station, roughly 300 yards away

See the (Charles Clay) address, on the advertisement; https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/File:...QDBZZ8zFas1teQ7PR7-SiHZr2-SwMbWXxIE6q4xgVUuR4


This was a basin/'arm' of the A&CNC, which was access to the Offices/workshops, which were in the yard to the left
(the 'Private Road' stone is in the wall)
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4775338



The access, as it is now
'Chantry Bridge' to the right

[Richard A Thackeray]

To follow on from the above 'A & CN C' basin/old arm

Whilst out for a ride this morning, I left Doncaster Road, as it entered the south of the City, & ventured to Fall Ings Lock (which is a short 'cut', to avoid the weir on the River Calder, at Wakefield Bridge(s)

Opposite the lock, rejoining the Calder, there's the stopped/silted-up remains of the lock
I've no idea if there's any remnants of the lock-gates, but the stonework is still fairly intact

Apologies for poor images, but it was widdling it down

Kidderminster clock tower, and the back of a GR postbox, in the town centre.

Luckily, at just gone 22.30, no one noticed a 60foot 44 tonne truck parked up so I could jump out and take a photo

Bit open and high for a urinal

Ironically, at first look I thought it was a baptistry.

 

[PeteXXX]

Looking into it further, it appears to be 'Brinton`s Clock Tower and Drinking Fountain'
