Wentbridge North Cutting (B6474)
Wentbridge

Now a quiet village (1), with the noise of the A1 in the background, as it crosses the Went Viaduct (2)
It's hard to imagine, that like many others, this was once a 24 hour cacophany of noise & traffic, as it was the Great North Road/A1
In the days, it was one of the most feared stretches on the route, in terms of terrain, due to the plunge down to the valley & back up the other side; be it from North, or south.

I had my most memorable cycle accidents descending the north side in my teens with a mate. He decided to stop suddenly at the bottom because he thought a reinstated trench crossing the road looked rougher than it actually was. I was too close and didn’t.

At least I missed the lamppost.

Flood plain near Upton, Northampton. It's Grade II listed.

Roman Road (A659)
Tadcaster

I'd looked for this (& the following 'stone) a couple of times before, by diverting off the present A64 at Headley Bar, onto the (pre Tadcaster bypass) old A64
However, I'd always looked when approaching the town, from the west
Today, I travelled to the west, from Stutton

Apologies, but I couldn't get in far enough to clear the branches
It reads; Tadcaster & Halton Dial TurnPike Road

I'm sure you can see by this photograph, why I've not seen it before!!

TurnPIke Road (A659) *
Tadcaster

I'd looked for this (& the preceding 'stone) a couple of times before, by diverting off the present A64 at Headley Bar, onto the (pre Tadcaster bypass) old A64
However, I'd always looked when approaching the town, from the west
Today, I travelled to the west, from Stutton
That said, the grass seems shorter than my last couple of trips along there

https://britishlistedbuildings.co.u...ction-with-sutton-lane-tadcaster#.X33VnlKSnIU

There's no picture of it, but it's located near the telephone pole, on the north side of the road; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5370777


* I'm glad to see that the 'TurnPike' name has been retained, but some call it Leeds Road

Also, having passed through Tadcaster & to the east of the town, before the old A64 rejoins the bypass, there's another TurnPike Road, as part of a new-ish housing estate, & a Toll-Bar Way too!
