In Addition
The house with the best address in Yorkshire is for sale again!!
The sale was spotted at dinnertime, it's the first house to our side of the county border with Nottinghamshire, & I've known of it for many years!

Bucyrus Erie BE 1150 Walking Dragline
St Aidens Open Cast (now, a RSPB site)
Great Preston
(between Leeds & Castleford)

It's BIG

I remember the River Aire flooding the 'cast, & that it took the river 3 days to fill the hole!!!
17 billion gallons of water is the figure quoted on this site; http://www.walkingdragline.org/

These markers are interesting from Wootton, Northampton. Looking at the road and the surrounding houses my guess is they're of 60's vintage. Clearly things were spelled differently in the 60's!

A couple that I've been past recently..

A Fluch Bracket on Moulton church.

And a Borough border marker c1932 on Welford Road, Hamtun, that if it were outside my home I'd spruce up a tad!
