There is a Junior School, in Altofts (village of birth), named after him
 
 
5 days-off now :okay:
I guess I'll see a few more notables

I know I have to go to York on Tuesday, probably via Tadcaster (for a shop there), so will be on the look-out

Visit for medical reasons

I didn't take as many photographs as I wanted to, due to traffic/parking difficulties

The Broken Bridge
(previously The Leeds Arms)
York Road
Tadcaster


Renamed after the December 2015 floods that collapsed the Wharfe Bridge, dividing the town

The Bridge at the time of collapse (upstream side) https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4799733


NB;
There is also a 'Broken Bridge' pub (Wetherspoons) in Pontefract, but the towns name is taken from the Latin for that phrase...... Pons Fractus..... thought by local historians to refer to an early bridge collapsing at FerryBridge

Ride out, this afternoon
Just a 'potter about', not far (or fast)

(adjacent to) River Calder
Whitwood
(between Wakefield & Castleford)

What a difference a bit of rain makes
Same beck/drain
Today

Sunday 7th February
Same tree, on the side of the path, just a few yards further away

At a rough estimate, it would have been about 15 feet deep

Whitwood/Altofts
(between Wakefield & Castleford)


A new sign!
Previously, it was just the red-lettered sign on the gate

It was easy to tell the weather was cold/over-cast/intermittant drizzle, as I had the entire route (to Foxholes Lock) to myself, not a plethora of walkers/riders
