I'd been to meet a friend this morning, as it's probably the last time I'll see her before she (& hubby) move to Lincolnshire
Anyways... I was riding back along Aberford Road (A642), past the site of the demolished St Peters Church at Stanley, when a white shape attracted my eye
I'd ridden the same way on my
'out'. but not noticed it
I last came down that road about a month ago, and I'm certain it wasn't there then
It's hollow, presumably pressed/welded into shape
I'll guess that 'Burnley' (Lancashire....
), 'Derby' are of significance to the family who arranged it (as neither of them are reached via Aberford Road
It became the
'Wakefield and Aberford Turnpike Road' during 1788 - 1789
The Church was to the left, on a mound, behind the stone wall
The M62, is a couple of miles further down the road (in the direction I'm looking), at junction 30
This is looking in the opposite direction, towards Wakefield;
