For some reason the old village stocks are stored away in their own special place behind a local church. Somehow it makes them seem all the more real, not being put on display for tourists: it feels more like they've been popped round the corner for storage till they have need of them...

I'd been for a haircut this morning (after having trimmed the beard, for the first time since starting it in October!)
This is part of what was built as a private Asylum!! - where families would pay for relatives to be looked after (incarcerated??), rather oddly, after the rates funded West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum was built not far away (known as Stanley Royd)
Maybe pride/causing a scene wanted them to keep it all quiet?

Rooks Nest Road
Between Stanley & Outwood
We know (if they still live there), the family reside here, I believe it's all one house???
(their son went to junior school with our daughter)

Edit to add: Somehow my bike has managed to look quite clean in the photos on my last few rides so I took this close up to illustrate the reality.

CGR cleaned, very thoroughly yesterday evening
Doubtless why it rained, very heavily, during the early hours!!
Note, even the mudguards were scrubbed internally^_^
Cotton-buds in the drop-outs/around cable-stops:blush:

Enjoying the newly installed two speed SRAM Automatix coaster hub. Four cross lacing because why not? (and it compliments the two cross front. That only i will ever notice). I've had to swap outothe sprockets to get the best ratios, and will probably swap again for one more tooth when I next replace the chain. The hub is very tidy in use, changing up cleanly andashifting down only when I take pressure off the pedals. I'd recommend it very highly for use on a city bike. If it wasn't for the fact that SRAM just discontinued it.

Nice lacing, but look at the state of that chain.

It could do with, er, a clean.
