The CC Trig Point bagger thread, now incorporating other interesting geographs

[Bobby Mhor]

Found this in the middle of a local field t'other day

no benchmarks on it....

 

[Tail End Charlie]

Visited Cambridge over the weekend. Bagged three cut bench marks.
First on Trinity St on a shop

Then a damaged one on Magdalene St

Then one on the entrance to Trinity College itself (I think)

Just a rusty 'T' plate on my wander into town today.

Two from Leeds.
Bishopgate/Neville Street Junction
Opposite end, covered over & no longer visible.

Left two puzzled engineers adjusting the lights.

What used to be the train drivers room at Leeds Station, Bishopgate.

They put them higher in Leeds it seems.

 

[Poacher]

There must be a benchmark somewhere on Trent Bridge, but a rather cursory inspection failed to locate it.
Instead, here are some flood levels from various years plus a height above ordnance datum scale.

Lime Pit Lane
Stanley
(off the A642, between Wakefield, & jct 30/M62)

Each lamp-post in the village had a poppy plaque, and the name of a local man who never returned

Long Thorpe Lane
Lofthouse Town End
(at junction with A61 Wakefield - Leeds road)


Partly in remembrance of the men who worked at all the various pits in the area (a lot of them!)
Partly, for the Lofhouse Disaster; https://www.stanleyhistoryonline.com/Lofthouse-Colliery-Disaster.html

I've ridden/driven past it innumerable times, but never stopped to look

The back is just as good, with the lamp battery, & boot-sole

Red- road, is the A61; http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1670732

Rothwell Greenway
Long Thorpe Lane
Lofthouse Town End
The south-western end, adjacent to Rodillians Secondary School (built as a Grammar School)

If I'd got back on the bike, & ridden less than 1/2mile, (in the direction it's facing) I'd have crossed over the M1, at 'Thorpe Interchange' (where it meet/intersects with the M62)




Oddly, the gate-way doesn't appear to be on GeoGraph; http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3722289

I can see the graffiti

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

I can see the graffiti

Have a closer look just below the E just where the painted brick meets the unpainted brick.

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

Ok,here is an older street view picture.https://goo.gl/maps/gHvyY2qfMcw. Just below the letter E.

I'll check it on the laptop later. I'm on the mobile at the mo..
