Then, on the journey back home, via the village I grew up in, & lived around, till I was 38
The 'Clog & Rhubarb', as it was known, due to the largest (non-mining) reasons for employment in the village

The old Toll-House, on the Wakefield - Aberford turnpike road (now the A642), with junction 30/M62 about a mile, or so, over my right shoulder)
Actually one of two toll-houses in the village (other one is lone-gone), this is straight opposite 'the Clog', I stood by the sandwich board, outside Gordons Tyres to take the picture

Now sadly neglected, & run-down. what is quite possibly the oldest building in Pontefract (discounting the Castle, & secular buildings)
Supposedly dating back to the mid 1400's
Admittedly, this image is from 2013, but the dereliction has got worse, I had wanted to photograph it this morning, but there were people sitting on the wall
