Looking the opposite direction, towards Castleford, for location

There's a mini-roundabout, just the other side of the bridge;
Straight ahead; Wakefield, Normanton, M62 (jct 31)
Right; Methley, Rothwell (& eventually) Leeds
Left; Cutsyke, Pontefract, Featherstone, etc...

End of Mill Lane
(off) Lock Lane
Which, if followed, turns into Barnsdale Road, then 'Roman Ridge' 1, leading to HookMoor, & intersects the Great North Road at Aberford

Next week, this will be passed, during the Tour de Yorkshire, as it head through Castleford

1. Which left the 'GNR' at Barnsdale Bar, essentially a Roman road, to their encampment at Castleford (Lagentivm), where they crossed the Aire

NB;
Uneven ground, & camera angle
My saddle is level

(A656) Barnsdale Road

This was the Castleford - Kippax - Garforth branchline
The bridge forms the crest of the hill; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/258895

Not sure what this one's for?


Ledston Station was here, remains were present until about 5 years ago
Open this page, & go to Ledston Station; http://www.lostrailwayswestyorkshire.co.uk/Castleford Garforth.htm

One today..
but it'll be gone tomorrow
I pass by this one regularly but assumed it was on the slightly more modern building on the other side of the road and never really looked as it was on private property..
WRONG..
I stopped to watch the old farmhouse, a ruin, being demolished..
went to in to have a nosey and there it was..
Near Houston(not Texas)

been there since between 1842 and 1882....
had a good chat with the owner, expansion of ground needed for his business...

Maybe another chat, and get him to keep the stone and incorporate it into something?

He did mention that as he has the house across the road..
he got the website address(the map with all the marks) from me after I showed him the info,
I'd a look to see if the mark was earlier than the last date (1984) on the OS database...
Quite possible, due to the map data that it was marked during the First Primary levelling circa 1841-60..
The map is OS 1843-1882.
I'll pop in and leave all this info at his business office asap...

So I keep seeing this maker at the bottom of our road .

Do we think it is os related ? Nothing on it re markings .
