It's been so long since I drove along Aberford Road that the church was still standing then.

I watched part of the demolition

Did you need crampons? 🤔

I almost needed oxygen synthetic time I'd hauled my 126kg to the top. Mrs D has MS and has difficulty walking but she was determined to get to the top, even though it left her exhausted.

Apparently, it's Ordnance Survey Trig Week! 👌

Slightly off topic but....

Here's a bunch of new telegraph poles awaiting erection in a field in Boughton.

Wednesday 16th



‘Hanson House’
(timber frame)
Snydale Road
Normanton

Dating back to the early 1500s, & probably the oldest building in the town, barring the Parish Church

I was lucky enough to be invited to look around it/inside about 20 years ago

It looked slightly delapidated back then


It looked slightly dilapidated/uncared for back then
(used for storage primarily)

Ridden, walked and driven past this spot more times than I have hot dinners .

The benchmark just jumped out at Me this morning.

It's just opposite the hgv entrance to round the back to at Tesco's in Wellingborough, next to the beefeater.
