Due to the weekends high winds!
The top of the damage is about 10foot above the ground

Riding home from work, l decided to drop onto the Canal, by Ramsdens Bridge, to pass the (Grade 1 listed) Aqueduct

‘Stanley Ferry’
Aire & Calder Navigation Canal
Stanley
Wakefield

The orange vessel is an ex North Sea Oil-Rig escape launch
They’re literally dropped off the rig!
No slipway

The Malt Shovel
Bradford Road*
Carr Gate
Wakefield

My parents offered to take Joanne & myself out for tea last night, & wanted to go here
As they were paying, & l was merely driving, it wasn’t a problem


There’s an old Chapel opposite that has been converted into houses
One of them has interesting stained glass

* The old road; pre-M1
It was cut when the section between jct 41 & jct 42 opened (‘Carr Gate Interchange’, where it meets the M62)
Look at the OS map, to see both ‘arms’
(between the ‘41’ & the blue circle)
West Yorkshire Police Traffic/Dogs/Horses/Helicopter are nearby
(as is their ‘riot training centre’)

I thought that was Ponte Carlo on a Saturday night?

A nice looking set in Chandos Square, Broadstairs.

I don't think I've seen a double-up of a BM before. Maybe because one was chipping away?
Ramsgate seafront.

The best pics of this pillbox that I could manage while wearing shorts! 😂

On today's ride I managed to sneak into the maintenance access as, usually, it's only possible to get a photo with fencing etc in the shot!
All the buildings around it have been, or are being, demolished but I believe the tower has been listed. 👍
It now stands proud(ish) in the middle of new housing developments.

It's a landmark and there are quite a few of the old buildings re purposed in area.

Did you stop at the Greek Church on the opposite side of the road?

I have looked at it a couple of times as pretty sure there's a benchmark on it but not found it.

I think I put the Greek Church in the Church thread a while ago. I, too, checked unsuccessfully for the BM...

That's where it's supposed to be!

Derelict Bungalow
Wakefield Road/A638
Ackworth
Wakefield

The last time l passed this house*, it was barely visible for trees & undergrowth
I wonder if the clearance is to gain access for demolition, or a complete renovation

I’ll go with demolition, but l’m sure one of the many people l know who live in the village will inform me

* I used to drive past it sometimes on the ‘school-run’, & run past it on a very regular basis, with the https://www.ackworthroadrunners.club/


EDIT @ 14:50
I am informed, via Facebook, by an ex running friend, that it’s to be built on
Thanks, Bex

Back Lane, Hardingstone.. I've ridden past this numerous times and nit noticed it! The sun was at exactly the correct angle to cast a shadow across the mark ti spot it!
