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

[PeteXXX]

A pillbox close to the Guided Busway, St Ives to Cambridge, This was the closest I could get to it. By the looks of it the area around it is due for housing development.
Hopefully, it will be left intact!

Edit: It's close to the Westwick / Oakington crossroads.

Metropolitan drinking fountains and cattle water troughs (association)

Street furniture of a different order. There is a web site and a list for these structures but it is rather London centric and the geograph website has a few listed but...... there are more country wide but where?
The one above is in Sudbury and now serves as a street planter. They usually have an inscription as to who the benefactor was. This one was installed for the King George V coronation June 1911

There's a nice watering trough/drinking fountain in Clarence Park (Wakefield), & another on the A61, as it heads into Leeds (at Hunslet)

@PeteXXX you get around on your Brompton. Do you take it in the lorry with you, or are you hard as nails and ride for dozens of miles on it?

 

[PeteXXX]

@Drago No, no lorry trips, unfortunately, with it but I do often put it in the car for a bimble further afield.
The Guided Busway ride makes it easier to ride through Cambridge to Grantchester where I meet up with my sister. It's free parking @ St Ives park & ride and I use my Ol' Farts bus pass for a free ride back from Trumpington to the car. (Moi? Cheapskate?)

Rothwell

I’m not certain how old this set is
There is, in Rothwell Library, a book (or was) listing all of the Whale-bone arches (past & present) in the UK

Two more rural troughs by the
Metropolitan drinking fountain and cattle trough (Association)
Seen last June 22 whilst on various bike excursions

Cattle trough on Barrington Common, Cambs. Looking a little unloved but at least it still survives in a public place.

Stopped for an Ice cream in Maldon High street and whilst chasing the flake down a "99" looked up and here we have another trough by the MDFCTA

I’ve added some from a previous trip on that route before, l’ll try to find something else
