The Sidings
Shipton-by-Beningbrough
(just off the A19)
York

I haven't been past this for years! (at least 12 - 13), so was pleased to see it still open!

It was the site of some railway housing, not the station, that was a few hundred yards to the north, by the next bridge
Apologies for quality, it was a very sunny day

'The' Went Bridge
Wentbridge
Seen from Jackson Lane

The village is about 4 miles south of FerryBridge 'Interchange'. along the A1
Until 1961 (or'62), this carried the 'Great North Road' through the village

On the bridge itself is a plaque

And, in the 2015 'Ackworth Half-Marathon', I struggled from this point, due to Plantar Faciitis, & (hence) a lack of training

It leads off Hull Road/A1079
Heslington
York

What a great name!!

I saw it on Friday, when l drove into York, to pick Amelia up, after dropping the BWSOW, at Stamford Bridge
Traffic was too heavy to stop there, so I went back that way en-route to collect the BWSOW

That's not far from me in York, and Wentbridge in your previous post was the scene of my infamous teenage cycle crash described elsewhere on the forum.

As I stated earlier in the Cycle Street photo, I'd driven that way into York on Friday, and saw something even stranger, but traffic didn't allow a stop

I has plans to take photographs on the Sunday return, but again, couldn't stop (& realised too late that I could have gone into the B&Q car-park
It was the petrol station/storage facility, about 1/2 mile short of the A64, with the Daleks & Cybermen on the roof
