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

Just a well maintained GR postbox, near Clacton Pier, on yesterday's worktime walk..

One I have walked past many a time and never spotted. It's behind a metal fence, so not ideal to get a good picture.
It's on Bank Mill,East Street, Leeds. Here is the plaque.

And here is the BM.

@Leedsbusdriver

More or less, opposite the Royal Armouries?

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

@Richard A Thackeray Well yes opposite the jousting arena. The plaque and BM are roadside. Here's a street view image. The plaque is by the door,and the BM a few metres to the right,but easy to miss.

A visit to (almost England, two miles from)the Borders.....
It rained constantly so didn't fancy getting too wet chasing local marks etc...

Eccles St Mary's Church

St Mary's

This was a chance find, on farm track to the cottage we were staying at, in a hedgerow, a white Trig

part 2..
Reason was to attend a wedding in the area..
Wedding took place at the impressive Coldingham Priory..

inside

Old gravestones

and on the Priory itself, an impressive mark

I'll let Wikipedia supply a potted history HERE
Again, a bit wet to take more photos but will be heading down that way soon

Stanion church this morning and first benchmark for the Sid Mottram.

A rather poor quality but of chiselling for this BM. It's within half a mile of my house, and on a 1970's garage wall! I'm wondering if someone actually hacked this to replace a destroyed BM when they razed the area for development.

The ones I've found locally aren't on there, but there's a couple more I can check out! Ta

Edit: I checked a few more options on the site and... Guess what!? 👍🏼

A bit of a 'Dad/Daughter' early afternoon, as she wanted a trip out of the house

I had a plan....👼
Aberford (after a side-trip through Allerton-Bywater - seen elsewhere)

When I did this, I had wanted to go elsewhere on the (Parlington) Estate, & a couple of points in Aberford itself, but time was slipping by, & I reckoned it would be quite muddy (& a longer walk), so I had a ride up to Aberford this morning

Next was HookMoor, with its long glorious open road into Aberford, which was the Great North Road, until 1963!

The first stop was the Parish Church Of St Ricarius, and the adjacent Market-Cross

I leant my bike here, whilst blowing my nose & noticed

As an additional feature, which I knew about (but not which set of gates) & on both sides
A Thompson mouse! (behind my front wheel

For some reason, the flash fired here

After photographs at St Ricarius, it was a slight back-track to Parlington Lane (now bridleway/National Cycle-Route & private access)
It was also a light railway at one point, for parts of its length
Now a pleasant ride/walk

The Triumphal Arch was visible over the fields

The photographs are from the south-western side, as my approach (from north-east) made photos awkward, due to the Suns angle

After the Light Arch. I continued, to the 'Dark Arch'
http://www.parlington.co.uk/structures.lasso?process=3&subProcess=struct2

Looking from the left hand high level path (where the trees are)

I didn't ride into it, as it was (ha!!) too dark & I couldn't see what state the ground was in

Years ago..... (maybe 30?) I drove through here, ready to state that I was lost, as memory doesn't tell me if it was actually signposted at that time, or being young & foolish I ignored them???

After starting to head out of Aberford, & back along the 'GNR' I stopped at the MileStone, which is about 50 yards north of the Almshouses
(for 12 persons...…...…...……)

After leaving Aberford & starting to head back, upon reaching the Ridge Road (as Barnsdale Road is known, north of the A63 junction), by Church Lane, there's a partially hidden MileStone

BUT... this one has an added extra on the side
(I've not seen this feature before)
