Ahh!!, the good old Secret Leeds, such an excellent site

Beacon Hill, trig point is behind a six foot drystone wall on private land. And nearby Southowram has been destroyed. But a view from Beacon Hill some 200 yards from Beacon Hill.

East would be a grassy incline, topped by a wall.
From almost the lowest part. Looking up

Done the race to the Beacon and back to the Piece Hall in under 15 minutes, straight up that hill.

Brings back memories of running up Trooper Lane, during the (Stainland Lions) 'Bluebell Trail 10'

Found another Milestone

Sleepers from a former railway line

They're just above head height
Looking back, where the line ran

And a few former Boundary Stones

No longer in their original locations you'll notice.

Is that the park, at West Vale, near Andy Thorntons?
(Bluebell Trail 10 starts there)


There's this little beauty, on the 'Tadcaster TurnPike' (between FerryBridge, & Monk Fryston)
I ride past it very regularly



Norland Town (south of Sowerby Bridge, but higher up the hillside)

Ackworth, at the top of Dicky Sykes Lane, on the Doncaster Road - which met up with the 'Great North Road', at Red House (north of Doncaster, where the A638 intersects with the A1)


I like this one, at Ackworth Moor Top, only 10 miles to the big, purple, singing Dinosaur




Broad Cut Road, Calder Grove
(near jct 39/M1)
Parish boundary stone?
Horbury - Crigglestone

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

And, not far from the M62, at Saddleworth Moor (jct 22), with my Octavia attempting to hide behind it
It's one of only 3 m-way junctions in the country to have cattle-grids, the other 2 are on the M6




I drove past this, on Sunday, on my way up to Penistone Hill Country Park (Haworth), for the Withins
This picture is from, when the Tour de Yorkshire passed it though

Short walk up the road, if you mean the milestone with the bottle on it, near Norland Moor.

The off-road track heads off to the left, following the line of the the old railway. View across the road, where the bridge would have been included. Runs at the back o'mill Andy Thorntons is in.

You'll know the road up from down near "macks" upto top then?

Which side of the boundry is the stone now on? Near "Heartbreak Bridge" I notice.

A few slightly more modern border marker posts in Weston Favell village.

And then, half a very old one!

There were a couple of people nearby having a chat so I introduced myself, and what I was doing. The lady said she knew who had the other part of the metal post and would try to get them to fix it!!

Final find of the day was a BM on the Parish church of SS Peter and Paul, Abington.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

There's this nice new one, at Ambleside



And a bit older...............
Can't remember exactly where though (file name just states A592)

Looking at OS mapping online, it's now on the West Yorkshire side

[And]

Back to Beeley Moor. Mile marker adjacent to a gate post from 1711. The marker also shows 'Farton' - I've lived here for ever and I've never heard of Farton (or Far Town or similar)

Possibly an abbreviated and somewhat phonetic attempt at Alfreton, which is recorded as Offerton on other guide stoops in the area. When you stand facing the Farton inscription, is Alfreton roughly to your right?

 

[biggs682]

That sounds a plan.

Are you recovered enough yet ?

 

[Drago]

A few days, I reckon so.

A few days, I reckon so.

And if not & owt happens, just close the hatch when he's leaving!

"Noy" changed to "not".

ok just let me know

By Jove, I think you've got it! Nice work Asa! Alfreton never occurred to me (mind you, I try not to think about Alfreton. )
