Just had a long prowl about online,
as Igneous rock is main rock type in this area,
the specimen

is possibly extrusive igneous rock..
(it's all in the micro bubbles.)
a better example

a little later in Kilbarchan

Like Porphyry?

Like Porphyry?

I don’t think so, porphyry has crystals, this rock had gas bubbles when it cooled rapidly which has led to having a honeycombed effect


I think

Any idea what this is? It's in bottom of a ditch on public footpath

Early morning ride to Emley,the mast is well known to many in Yorkshire. Providing TV and radio signal since the early 70's it replacers the earlier tower that fell down in 1969 due to ice on support wires. The top of the tower is 1,949 feet above sea level. It takes 7 minute lift ride to the top standing at 1,084 feet high still the tallest freestanding structure in UK and become Listed grade II in 2002.

The mast to the right is temporary as the main transmitter is being upgraded over next few years.

No idea.. Boundary post of some sort?
I try and clear the undergrowth around anything like this that I find lest it vanish into history..

Circa 1/2 mile south of the A63 'Selby ByPass', after crossing the Selby Canal
Brayton


Quite well hidden in the hedgerow
I'd spotted it before, but there was generally too much traffic to pull up safely, without impeding flow

Not sure if it's still open, whilst for sale, as there's still furniture inside?
