Beacon, no doubt to warn us of smelly, lice-ridden, unkempt invaders from the south

A pre 1963 box, reused after the station(Queensbury) closed.

An Edward VII post box, blanked off but left in place. Outside what was the Post Office in Queensbury.

Ideas, anyone?

Went through Gayhurst on the way. Didn't stop at the trig point as bagged that before.

A few finds on this mornings pedal.

A George V1 postbox.

A very big Mile Post.

And a different utility plaque. All three in Desborough.

And, in Braybrooke, a plaque on the bridge over the River Jordan (no, it isn't deep and wide at this point!)

 

[biggs682]

Never spotted that mile post in Desborough @PeteXXX

 

[PeteXXX]

As I was riding towards it, I thought.. Ahhhh.. a war memorial!
Then I noticed the mileages

Quarrier's Village , an almost gone

Port Glasgow
the castle once christened 'the castle built between two shipyards', more a fortified house

Newmarket House
(old CastleGate Lane)
Stanley (as it still is, at this location, Leeds border follows the M62 along here)
Very much a back-water, & probably a forgotten 'BM'?

This was a farm, then I remember it as a restaurant, offices
Now there's a Mews to the rear (converted, & extended out-buildings)

Junction 30/M62 is less than 300 yards away (behind me, in the central photo)



It's on the top of the rise to the right; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2734881
Road, rose to span the railway here; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4321439

Pre-dual-carriagewaying of Aberford Road (A642) the central picture was Aberford Road, as it rose to bridge a railway (East & West Yorkshire Union Railway)
It can be seen in this link, use the blue-slider to go to modern aerial photography; https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=18&lat=53.7247&lon=-1.4600&layers=168&b=1
(old kerbstones are still visible in the undergrowth, as the pavement is now a footpath (centre photo)


And, a 1960s(?) image of the area, looking northwards from Stanley, towards the location of jct 30
Railway bridge, in the immediate foreground, & the forthcoming M62 being levelled out, in the mid-distance
