@raleighnut @TVC @Lullabelle Note the Ainleys sticker. Don’t think they’re there anymore, but used to be near the Clock Tower.

Yes, long gone unfortunately. I used to buy my gig tickets there.

As @TVC says it's long gone, I bought a few records there once 'Revolver' had closed

Called at Squires mid-morning, whilst out for a brew & a widdle; http://www.squires-cafe.co.uk/index.asp

This was in the parking area
Research prior to writing this shows it may be a 1923 model, with a 225 cc engine
That's by comparing the images to my photos

I got talking to another biker, who'd just come in, on his modern Suzuki, as we examined it

Looking at the RE, it's practically a bicycle frame, adapted to the engine, with springer forks
Front light was taken care of, with a LED torch strapped to the handlebars

The owner had, with an adaptor plate, fitted a disc-brake to the rear wheel
BUT................ the front brake was operated by rods........ and, scarily (to our eyes, but commonplace then) had wooden brake-blocks!!




This, I think???

And, on the way there
Back Newton Lane
Which is from the crossroads, at the top of 'Mary Pannell Hill' (A656, 'Barnsdale Road', the Castleford - HookMoor road; where it joined the Great North Road, via Aberford)



This Geograph link has a map below it, to show the location
