The old British Jeffrey Diamond site (or 2 buildings of it)
For many years, along with British Wire Ropes, it supplied the mining industry countrywide

(presumed) Toll-House
Rowley Lane
Lepton
Off the A642; Wakefield - Huddersfield Road (or 'Austerlands TurnPike')

It seems that the previous name of Highgate Lane could point to it being toll/bar related!

Wakefield Road (A642)
Lepton Edge
(between Wakefield & Huddersfield)

There are two milestones on this section of road, & it seems that after road-work, the two were transposed (hence the out of synch distances)

Almshouses Lane/Cathedral Yard
(between George Street, & the pedestrianised Upper KirkGate)
Wakefield

Note the external stair-case on the car-park
There can't be many of those left in the country now?
(I remember this car-park having an outdoors escalator, on its far side!)

'Gordons Tyres' (as was)
Aberford Road/A642
Stanley

This was originally built as a cinema, known locally as 'The Clog & Rhubarb' , as the land was part of a market gardeners Rhubarb fields, and one of the local employers (along with farming/mining/railways) was William 'Clogger' Lambs, a footwear manufacturer

NB;
Up to 2004, when we moved out of the village, there were still forced Rhubarb sheds along the fields behind the garage

Taken May 2004

St Peters Crescent
Bottomboat
Stanley

Rather sparse information
Most seem to give a distance to the next village/town/feature

It's on a grassy triangle, roughly 50yards west of the sign in this picture
The road-surface is far more broken-up, than can be seen here

There's rather more information on this sign, than the 'TPT' sign in the previous post

This photographer is, to all intents & purposes, leaning on the sign; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3856488

Nice work Mr T. I always enjoy reading of your travels.

Well, thankyou good Sir

It's kind of you

I keep meaning to revert to this type of report; https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/your-ride-today.173254/page-1026#post-5046445
Then, I think, it may be a bit too much?

Is it?

 

[Drago]

Not at all!
