Your bike in front of something different...

[booze and cake]

A Flintstone-esque display bicycle made from wood I saw in Spitalfields this afternoon.

Church of St John The Evangelist
Jackson Lane (just off the 'Great North Road')
WentBridge

Described, as a 'Mort-Safe' in some areas, & a Sextons shed in others
Maybe the former use, became the latter?

Snails, in the stonework, by my 'bars



EDIT @ 21:49

It seems a suitable explanation
The Church is a bit out of the way, & close to the 'Great North Road' ready for transportation of a body to any Surgeon/Anatomist willing to pay?

I think this (sugar) beets my cabbages pic for quantity.

Not sure how many bikes you see in front of one of these

How did you get there? What root did you take?

My recently acquired Merida 96 XT in front of a grain grinding wheel in my garden. I know the bars/pedals setup doesn't look ride on a racing MTB but it suits my old body

Here's a varied selection for you. My bike in front of ...

... stone sheep!

... a landslip caused by local floods. Bonus points for the fact that the land happened to have an old asbestos waste tip at the top of it!

... more flood damage, a mile across the valley - where's my retaining wall!

... jammed lift doors at Bradford Interchange railway station. I spent many happy minutes in there!

A derelict Stable Block, of a local 'Estate', with links to the Knights Templars
(the land, not the present, decaying, buildings)
iPhone picture on my way home, circa 15:00

I'd ridden along the river (Calder) banking, from 'Stanley Ferry' into NewLands Woods, & hence (basically) through where the Hall was located

'Whitwood Mere' (as the area is known)
Methley Road
Castleford

There's a series of them, on posts by the railings alongside the low-lying field there

It's approximately where the 'red arrow' is; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/663161

They are barges, or tug-boats, alluding to the 'Tom Puddings' that were worked up & down the River Aire, at this point;

If you scroll down into the black & white pictures, there's some of the 'Toms'; https://www.stanleyhistoryonline.com/Ferry-Lane-Photos.html
