Got my partner’s ‘new’ bike out of the box and put it together.

There were two churches with 'open mornings' this morning, so it seemed like a good excuse to ride into town to meet a friend for a massive cooked breakfast, then to go and see the churches. St Michael's, Mount Dinham, Exeter, is worth a visit. I'm not a great fan of Vistorian churches, on the whole, but this is something else.

It went grey and boring before I got any decent photos today, so you can have last night's sunset from my top floor instead.

'Nagger Lines’
Between Lime Pit Lane & Rooks Nest Road
Stanley
Wakefield
Once the route of a horse-drawn wagon-way to coal-staithes on the Aire & Calder Navigation Canal
There's been local disagreement as to the name
1. Nagger, as in Nag/Horse
2. Taken from 'Navigation' & altered later
This bend in the trail, is about 300yards ahead of where I'm stopped

If a left turn was taken, upon joining Rooks Nest Road, after about half a mile, a house now named Rooks Nest House, is reached
In the mid-1800s', this was a private asylum, where your suffering family member would be looked after!
(we knew the family who owned it, as the son went to School with our daughter, wife's been in it, I haven't - they still have old ledgers apparantly)
There are rails remaining across Lime Pit Lane, that are of a narrower gauge; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6921223
