SWMBO persuaded me to buy this plaque, in; https://simplydutch.co.uk/

Personally, I think they're missing a trick, as it should also refer to Lancastrians :okay:

The former pub looks in much better nick than it did when I was trying to photograph the bridge for work a few years ago.
 
Sunday 18

Whilst en-route home from the Walton Classic Car Show, (26 images) this afternoon, I came through Walton Colliery Country Park (the name gives away its previous incarnation)

The long since 'abandoned' Barnsley Canal passes through there, & sections are still in water

I was somewhere near here; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/154928

Further to the south, it circumnavigates the Waterton Estate (as was), where campaigners are chasing UNESCO World Heritage status, as the Worlds First Nature Reserve (enclosured by a 3mile long/9foot high wall in the 1820s!!)
This would help avoid the devastation that would be caused by HS2)

Apologies

Wrong thread :whistle:
I don’t remember noticing that. Is it on the Planetary Route?
By that, do you mean the old East Coast Main Line, over Naburn Swing Bridge, to Selby?
(before it was rerouted, due to subsidence in the Selby coalfield area)

If you do, no, it's not on that:whistle:

If you go out of York on Bootham/Clifton (A19), towards the Ring-Road
Cross the RR, still on A19, towards Easingwold, it's about 1/2 mile from the roundabout, on the left after; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4544441
It's about 10 foot up a post, not at ground level

There's also a 'Way Of The Roses' sign there too
