Only one benchmark today on the Old Montague Club in Weekley .

 

[PeteXXX]

I spotted this benchmark after taking a picture of Kelmarsh church on the other side of the road .

A nice clean date stamp just above it as well .

I've got a feeling I've done that one.. End of the wall, on the downhill West out of Kelmarsh?

Embarrassingly, this benchmark is just over 100 yards from my house! As it's on a 1970's bridge, built when the housing was developed, I've not even looked at it on the 1,653 ish times I've ridden and walked over it..

Hey ho.. Here it is, now

 

[Drago]

Nice wheels Pete.

I did wonder

Early morning ride out stopped off at Royd Moor view point. I've gone past a few times but never been inside.

1000 sq mile view, 1080 ft above sea level. Built with 125 tonnes of stone

One near by village I often go though was home to Nicholas Saunderson scientist and mathematician known as "blind professor" (1687-1739) who over came hardship and disability and went on to hold the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at Cambridge. (other holders inc Newton, Babbage and Hawking) Just show anything is possible.

So having a few minutes to spare at the terminus in Guiseley whilst driving the 33's i had the opportunity to bag these before setting back off to Leeds.
Bradford Road,Guiseley......Opposite Lennox Leisure on a mile marker.

Is this.

Close up,with rivet.

A little walk further up Bradford Road, Guiseley is this.Rather worn but still just about visible.Is it a BM or a utility marker?

A closed Bank, of one origin, or another, presumably?


We also have (had!!) a 'Counting House' pub, in Pontefract
Sadly, it's now closed & left to rack & ruin
I do believe that an enforcement order of some kind has been placed on it, as barring the Castle, & Churches, it's probably the oldest building left in the town (as locals disagree with the stated dates, & reckon in parts it goes back to the mid 1400s)
