Stanley Road
EastMoor
Wakefield


A brave lady

Buried with full military honours!!

See 'Career', for how she perished; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nellie_Spindler

Can't find a picture, but it's behind this camerawoman; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/759933
Above the blue shutter, in my shot below



EDIT
Monday 5th August @ 15:50

Minnie Wood, the Nurse who comforted Spindler, in her last few minutes, was also from Wakefield
Wood received the Military Cross, for her part in this bombardment!

This morning


Ashfields (1)
(alongside) Half Moon Lake

Also, part of the Trans-Pennine Trail

1. Which gives an accurate idea of what the area was/is
All of the ash from the boilers at Wakefield Power Station was dumped here, in places you can still see bare ash
I remember it as being totally barren, before anything grew (believe it was partially 'top-soiled)
'WPS' was demolished in 1991

A 'Needle' on Ramsgate seafront, on today's walk..

 

[PeteXXX]

Apparently, there's an Edward VIII postbox on the seafront here, as well.
I shall explore!

 

[PeteXXX]

Tadaaaa....

And the haystack?

 

[PeteXXX]

A few more from today's wander around Ramsgate.

A VR postbox at the bottom of the High Street,

Then, hidden behind a newer box, outside the Post Office, lurked a BM.

A large, but vanishing, BM on St George's Church, at the top of the High Street was my final one of the day.
Tomorrow, I should get the chance to bag summat on the North side of the Isle of Thanet.

Slim pickins in Margate, today..
Even this BM was in Cliftonville, on St Ann's Church!

Aire & Calder Navigation Canal towpath
(between 'Stanley Ferry' & Birkwood Lock)

Due to the closure (for 3 weeks) of Birkwood Road, I'm having to use a trio of alternative routes to/home from work

This is one route
Getting onto the canal towpath, by the bridge, denoted by the blue-circle (which is also approximately where the road is closed)
The tow-path's interesting at 04:30 on a morning...…...

29 miles to (the port of) Goole

 

[PeteXXX]

I've just dug out another few pics from my tour.

A metal milepost in Shap, that I noticed on my OS map as I plotted some of the ride.

Before the metal post, however, there was an even older stone marker! Who knew that the A6 was that ancient!!

It is indeed, an ancient way, the Monks (& their traders) travelled that route to Shap Abbey




There's also this one, that I spotted back in February

Interesting signage on Ramsgate Maritime museum..

I was in Tobermory,
not one of my favourite places plus I'd other hills to climb, as you know
It was chaotic on my two brief visits over the short time we were there.
I should maybe have read up a bit more but my mind was on the task ahead
I knew about the FBM but never bothered...
I can return..
