The CC Trig Point bagger thread, now incorporating other interesting geographs

[Badger_Boom]

I took a walk round part of York that I normally drive and came back with some interesting snaps:

Here‘s Fulford Cross (or what’s left of it) :

a couple of cracking War Department datum stones from two corners of Imphal Barracks:

a nice George VI pillar box:

and an OS benchmark on the entrance to the former cavalry barracks that I would never have noticed if the light hadn’t been right:

The newly rebuilt A19
North of Chapel Haddlesey

One of them; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2749735

It was closed for almost 2 years, due to extensive flood-damage, from the River Aire
I'm not quite sure how much was washed away, but there's at least 3 newly rebuilt bridges there, to allow flood-plain waters to pass under the A19
When I was told it was re-opened, I did expect a modern equivilant of the old 'Great North Road' at Newark, what is now the A616, past the Sugar factory
Or, the one at Bentley (north of Doncaster, & coincidentally also carrying the A19!

I've seen (& added) the Fulford Cross before, on one of my many trips to daughters Uni flat (Foss Island area)
(she's moved now, to 'off Bootham', so it'll be a different approach into the city)

I noticed the 'WD' benchmark on my last visit, but traffic precluded parking

There's on a benchmark on Cemetery Road, on the walls surrounding the cemetery itself,

What a repainted one looks like
This is also on the A19, BUT.......... on an orphaned stretch, that is now a dead-end; hard against the east-bound 'off-slip' at jct 34/M62
