A new to me benchmark this morning in Pytchley just on the bend as you head towards Tesco's .

And the Stanion church benchmark which I think I have done before.

Plus a few others that I have posted before .

At first I thought, given its location, it stated 'High Water', but no it's 'Highway'

If you drew a line at the 04:00 position, from the lighthouse to the road, it's there; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6200206

'Tom Pudding Hoist'
Jetty Wharf
Goole
East Riding

From Dutch River Side

From Albert Street

A way of emptying the coal-carrying compartment 'tubs' that were towed behind a tug-boat, from their loading point (in this case; NewLands Basin, at Stanley Ferry (Aire & Calder Navigation Canal)

See here, for a couple of colour pictures, of 'T-P's' (possibly) loaded at the Staithes at Parkhill Pit (slightly to the south-west)
https://www.stanleyhistoryonline.com/Stanley-Ferry-Workshops.html
Also, scroll to the B&W photographs, for pictures of the 'T-P's' on the carriages, behind a saddle-tank locomotive, about to be reversed into the water to be floated off
(a long chain was used, so the loco could remain on level ground)

In Addition;
I'm slightly biased with this one, & was really hoping someone would have asked if I was interested in the hoist, as I grew up less than a mile from the NewLands Basin
Plus, for the past 15 years, I've ridden/driven/run over the adjacent road-bridge (& even ridden/run along the route of the railway) to get to work


Looking to where the engine is, I've no idea when NewLands Basin was filled in (but that B&W photo was taken off the same bridge)


Along the line of the NewLands Colliery line


At the Basin level, with the railway embankment (& my route) following the tree-line to the left

Apologies for quality
I couldn't quite figure out how to get closer, as the obvious way was gated

Edit @ 17:46
In my collection I have this book, it has a lot of 'T-P' related images

Out again, I believe on my next day-off (Sunday)
Senior Management, wants to go to Bawtry

She described the layout of the main-streets to me, & that's the only place I can think of (barring Bedale & Leyburn), but she did state it's a few years since we've been there

I'm happy, as it's on The Great North Road, & will allow me to fill in a few 'gaps', in my photos
(& start a new 'GNR' album)

Nice benchmark on ST Andrews in Spratton that might well have been posted before.

Associated buildings next door probably housed coach-men/stable-boys & horses;

Then just below it, by about 400yards, I turned round on Folly Nook Lane, opposite this sign

Great North Road (A638)
Bawtry
South Yorkshire

Just inside the present county boundary, as Scrooby is in Nottinghamshire

And a few dozen yards further into Yorkshire

The best address in the Counties
Great North Road (A638)
Bawtry

It bears this name as the West Riding/Nottinghamshire boundary was only a few dozen yards south (see #001), & it still is, now that it's South Yorkshire
