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

[Richard A Thackeray]

Whilst returning on the A63, from my ride along the route of the Leeds, Castleford and Pontefract Junction Railway to Garforth, I rode along NineLands Lane, to join it
(built/improved/managed as the Leeds - Selby TurnPike)

To my delight, as I waited at the traffic-lights by The Crusader pub & Fire Station, I spotted this in the undergrowth opposite, so a detour of a few yards was made
I like the fact that it stattes 'TurnPike'

Always good to discover treasure in the undergrowth @Richard A Thackeray , eh!

Here's my find of the day. I've driven past this mile post loads of times but never had any chance to stop (no bike, just my Scania in the background.. It's on the A134 near Scole, Diss.

Not really in the undergrowth though, is it? 👼
(unless the grass has been cut?)


This one is!!
Set back from the road, about 8 foot
Generally overgrown

On A656 'Roman Ridge Road'
Between 'Peckfield Bar' (where A656, crosses A63), just south of jct 47/M1

There's an even more hidden one, on the 'Tadcaster TurnPike' (A162), between FerryBridge & Monk Fryston (where the A63 crosses the 'Tad T-P')
It's in a ditch now - due to successive road building raising the surface

Whilst out on Sunday, & returning from my 'allowed exercise' & on the return
https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/your-ride-today.173254/page-1660#post-5962318

I pass this a lot, pre-restrictions, in either direction
Usually traffic precludes a good angle, as does the direction of the sun (at those times)


Ledston Luck
Barnsdale Road (A656) - the Castleford - HookMoor/Aberford road

Curiously, there's no picture of it, but it's located at the road-turning on the left of the picture; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2550812

The 'Arts & Craft' number 1 Engine House still stands slightly to the north, if sadly neglected
(Number 2 has fared better!!)

Came across this today on the bridge above the River Frome, between Cleeve Wood & Frenchay in Bristol.

Spotted today between Outwell and Downham Market.

It's not often you can get a truck up to a Trig Point!! 😂

I went out on my 'allowed exercise' to look at this one earler
I only knew about it, as it was in the side-bar, on Geograph, whilst looking at another one

For size comparison

I'd dispute the house being as old as the 'stone, even though it's named MileStone House

It's identical to the one in Ackworth, on Doncaster Road (A638), at the top of Dicky Sykes Lane

Another local, quite shoddy, cut mark! This one is on Blackthorn Brook bridge on yesterday's little ride.

Today
During my 'allowed exercise'

The 'Great North Road' still exists on some signseat

Top of Holywell Lane - behind bike
It turns into Sheepwalk Lane, from this junction (Spittal Hardwick Lane behind me)

Airedale, Castleford

I've known of this sign for a long time

The sign is in the blue circle; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2628091

That is a nice casting!

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

Kirstall viaduct.

The cut mark is just to the left of the cycle lane sign,and about six inches from the ground.

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

Guiseley theatre.

All these were spotted whilst driving my bus. The cut mark is down and to the left of the defibrillator.

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

Otley town centre,near Wetherspoons.

The cut mark is on the right hand side of the entrance.

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

St John's church, Briggate Leeds. I believe I bagged the flush bracket but not the plaque and cut marks.

More to come when I get the chance.
