From the church yard of
Church of St Peter

I've pbviously heard of a Zebra Crossing, but a 'Horse Crossing'

Why not left???

This afternoon

A rather odd gate
Public footpath
alongside the River Went
Willowbridge Road
Little Smeaton
(District of Selby)
North Yorkshire


(I only saw it, as I was trying to see if I could photograph the station buildings from the path

It pivots at ground level

It's to the north of the Went, running east

Mindst you, the road bridge itself is more reminiscent of a railway bridge
Then again, the railway did cross on another bridge a few yards away

Willow Bridge

The remnants of one abutment are still visible
Sorry for quality, it's overgrown & was raining heavily

This afternoon
5.

Cross base
Tanpit Lane
Walden Stubbs
(District of Selby?)
North Yorkshire

Marked on 1905 OS as 'remains of...', so it's been in this state for quite a while

And, a 'BM' too

Some great finds there Richard.

Thankyou
I was bored this afternoon, so went for a drive around
I had been hoping to get to this station, but it's a commercial premises now (& too overgrown to the south-east)

Sheep related? Maybe a gate humans can get through, but sheep cannot?

Sheep would get through the chains either side. That given it's not fastened at the top, try the chains and open the "gate".

 

[Drago]

Try getting through that if you walk with a stick.

There is a possibility that I may be heading up to Northumbria, for the day, with daughter, later in the week

If so, I'll keep my eyes open for various items.... particularly (though she doesn't know it yet....) as I'll be driving up along as many sections of The Great North Road as I can
Ie; where possible, I'll be avoiding the dual-carriageway/m-way sections of the A1, & heading through the towns/villages
Boroughbridge, Catterick, Northallerton are on my list

Tomorrow, all being well

Plus.... a trip with wife (on her day-off) on Thursday, to (probably) Richmond
The real one!, not the southern pretender

Yes, it happened!!
I only got the Catterick diversion though, albeit with a missed turning, & ending up on the A684 from Leeming Bar to Morton-on-Swale
