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
497564



It's hollow, presumably pressed/welded into shape
I'll guess that 'Burnley' (Lancashire....xx( ), '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

497565


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
497566





This is looking in the opposite direction, towards Wakefield; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2734899
(it's located at the end of the wall, to the left of the picture)

Called in at Nostell Priory to take a few photos
It's on the A638 'Wakefield - Doncaster TurnPike Road' at Wragby
It was very busy indeed with families/dog-walkers/etc....!!

Sadly, I've not run this year (due initially to a knee problem), but it was my 'home' ParkRun, with probably 70 runs there

I knew that 'House' had a mark but the 25" OS showed it in (presumably) an awkward spot, as I knew there was a fence between it & me
But, no, it was visible
497739

it's roughly in-line with my rear wheel

After photographing the 'House' benchmark I headed down to the Bridge at the Lower Lake, & the Boathouse
(run over 4 times in the ParkRun, both 'outs' & both 'backs')

BM's by my front wheel

Cast-iron railings on the bridge

The Cascade, as the run-off forms Hardwick Beck, which joins Went Beck at Went Lane (to the south of Purston), which then turns into the River Went, & flows through the (eponymously named) Wentbridge

After crossing the bridge, instead of following the ParkRun loop, through the Lower Lake Copse, it was up the carriage drive to the Obelisk Lodge
Originally a Gate-Lodge, from the North, & lived in until the 50s!!!
Designed by Robert Adams, & restored in the 1990s

It's on the left corner, bike remained in same location as above

There's still fireplaces in the rooms, this is through the open door (no roof)

After heading back out of the grounds, there was a brief call into Wragby Church, which is in the Priory grounds
Sorry, but it was awkward to photograph due to trees from the south, & sunlight from the north

One last port of call
The (as I always believed it to have been) Tithe Barn, now offices, & 14th Century in origin
I've been in it once, when my wife had her company offices in another building in the 'Home Farm' (1 )

1. A few years ago, must have been not long after 'we' moved in
No date, but it's quite a few years since we had that Volvo (pre - 2009?)
'We' moved out of there in (I think) 2017

Not today, or even this week

Pinderfields General Hospital

Memorial to 2 murdered 'Plastic Surgeons'

I wasn't working there then (started March '97), but Joanne (g/f, & wife since '98) was working on R Ward, & on 'Lock-Down' till the murderer was found
