Buggeration!!

I've now been told that the Manchester meeting is at Scarborough, on the Wednesday afternoon
So, they're all stopping overnight at a Hotel

Thus no need for daughter & myself to go on Thursday AM, & senior management is going to her office upon returning

Therefore, it'll just be a 'dad/daughter day'
I have formulated contingency plans...…...

Out for about 10:30
Up the A1 to Wetherby, through the town centre, onto the A661 through Spofforth, & hence on to Harrogate

Item 9

On the A61 Ripon Road (just south of Ripley)

Had a drive out this afternoon, as it was a bit too breezy for a ride
Headed over to a village (they'd probably consider themselves a 'small town'?) near the confluence of the River Aire, with the River Ouse

Snaith
East Riding of Yorkshire

A rather well painted, & not vandalised bus shelter!
Selby Road (A1041)

On leaving Snaith, on the A1041, towards Selby, in order to look at the old bridge
The Aire was rather high
On my journey there, the A19 (main aterial from jct 34/M62 to Selby was closed at Eggborough)

Note the Toll-Houses, on the north bank

This was the Selby Road, locally; Ferry Lane
It doubles as a dyke, with the farmland to the left, roughly 3 yards below road level
The 'new' bridge is seen
'New' means built in 1930

The river levels are a bit more normal here; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1198405


Although it looks scarier here, as Ferry Lane starts to drop below the dyke level

Gave daughter a lift into Leeds late this morning & had a slight detour on my return journey
1

Hunslet Engine Works (as was)
Jack Lane

I can remember it, when stock was built there, & the road was closed to allow access to the network
Closed in 1995, & I worked not far away, until early 1997

Some rails are still in position




As are the redundant signs!

I spotted this cut mark a while ago as I passed by on the bus. I finally rode past for a photo opportunity!
It's tucked into a corner on my doctors surgery.. 👍🏼
