South Northamptonshire, Ashton railway bridge. I don't think this one is in the database.

Trig point at the base of the Crich memorial tower, memorial to members of the Sherwood Foresters / Mercian / Worcestershire & Sherwood Foresters regiments.

View from the top, looking towards Crich

Looking the other way's a bit weird as you can see how much it's been quarried.

Me and him at the base.

House at the bottom's got a tiny version in the front garden.

Metal sign
Barnsdale Road (A656)
Castleford (1)

A mixture of road-salts/age & immersion in flood waters

The photographer practically had his back to the sign

1. Barnsdale Road is the continuation of the Roman Road, that left the 'Great North Road' (A1) at Barnsdale Bar, before passing through Pontefract, then being lost under the streets of Castleford
Castleford was Lagentivm, to the Romans
From here, it neads due north, and indeed after 'Peckfield Bar'(where it intersects with the A63 Leeds-Selby road) it changes name to (Roman) Ridge Road
Then.... to the north of Aberford - literally, just south of 'Bramham Cross-Roads (not a cross-roads anymore, but there is the remains of that!, if you know where to look), it swings north-east to Tadcaster (Calcaria, to the Romans)

Castleford Lock
Castleford

Note the reused railway lines used to prevent vehicles straying onto the grass, where the land slopes steeply to the 'Cut'

This is where the Rivers Aire & Calder meet, with the Castleford Cut avoiding the Weir on the Aire
The Aire becomes navigable again, then, until Ferrybridge, where there's another 'cut'/canal to avoid Knottingley Weir


The railings on the Lock are the ones seen in my picture; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2784373


Rather more ominously, either there's been a lot of punctures there, or the local ferals are inhaling gases on the access road
There were a lot more spread around
