'Horbury West Curve'(?)
(adjacent to) Hartley Bank Woods
Calder Grove

Spanning the Calder & Hebble Navigation Canal

Looking towards the north-west & Addingford/'Healey Mills' yard

I didn't ride much further as the ballast wasn't a good surface for '28' tyres

Looking towards Balk Lane bridge

Seen from the towpath

Looking back at the over-bridge (I'd descended from that)
Plus a small history segment

Whittling Well
Heath Common
(alongside) Kirkthorpe Lane & Trans-Pennine Trail
Heath


Some presume it's a fire-place that came from the (demolished) Heath Old Hall, but no

Probably the outlet from a natural spring

It can just be seen, as a dark spot above the bushes to the left of the road; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2072507

Another one that I have not noticed before.
On the railway bridge between Milton Malsor and Blisworth .

 

[Drago]

I've ridden that bridge hundreds of times and never spotted it!

 

[PeteXXX]

A few from my stroll into town to get my glasses fixed..

A black tarred BM in Pytchley Street.

A semi hidden BM on Thenford Street.

And, opposite the hospital, on Alexander Road, another cut mark.

In the council courtyard, a bronze of John Clare, peasant poet.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

I'll be in Sutton-in-Ashfield tomorrow afternoon
I'll do some research, when I get home from work tonight, to see what there is

I've already seen the old railway viaduct, at Kings Mill Reservoir

A64 west-bound
Between Colton & Tadcaster

https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6037239

For some reason, the listing text is duplicated, from the other stone on this section of the road
https://britishlistedbuildings.co.u...unction-with-colton-lane-steeton#.Xz0UnKeSnIU

I did go looking for the 2 on the 'old' A64, to the west of Tadcaster, but they must be buried in the abundant undergrowth
(which is now the A659, from Headley Bar, where the WW1 aircraft hanger still stands)
