New flagpoles/flags, between the main entrance, & Rowan House (ex Trust HQ)



There's the Union Flag, a NHS, & a rainbow

Curiously there's no White Rose flag, given that it was part of the logo & it's the Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust
Maybe I should offer Martin (the soon to be retiring Chief Executive) my White Rose flag?

We're away this coming weekend, trying out the new BWSOW, so there may be a few?

Then, from Sat 3rd - Sat 10th, we're in Northumberland again, in a self-catering cottage this time, not the converted Mill of our last week up there (Oct 2019)

A nice benchmark that's been done by myself before but I was there and it seemed like the right thing to do.

B1222
I can't find a road name, but I've always called it Sherburn Lane

It's at the other side of the bridge, on 'my' side
The yellow bins are in the entrance to https://www.squires-cafe.co.uk/

It's just out of shot, to the left; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1987256

Hall Lane (which is just off the B1222 (I can't find a road name for that, but I've always called it Sherburn Lane)
Newthorpe
(between Sherburn-in-Elmet & Ledsham)

The Leeds - Selby - Goole line passes over this bridge
The quarry was worked for the small band of Limestone that came to the surface there

In the map below the image, the blue road is the 'new' A1, seen here between jct 42 (south; 'Selby Fork', A63) & jct 43 (north; 'Hook Moor', where the M1 joins it)

This is the defunct quarry next to the junction; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2736305

This outcrop is on the junction
Gorse Lane, my usual route home, if I've called at Squires for a brew, is seen leaving the B1222, to the right

We'll be in Northumberland for a week, from Sat 3rd - Sat 10th
I'm hoping to amass quite a few images

However......
This time it's not just SWMBO & myself, but;
SWMBO (aka Senior Management)
Daughter
Father-in-law
Daughters boyfriend

We're not taking the BWSOW, but are self-catering in a house on the old Great North Road, in Felton
I've already been warned about milestone photographs/any reminders that it was the GNR, but will be allowed freedom on at least one day

Saturday 26th

Cawood Castle
The gatehouse is the only remnant, the brink range is later, but still of 14th century construction

This was where Thomas Wolsey was arrested for treason, by Henry 8th, due to failing to secure him a divorce from Catherine of Aragorn
He was due to travel to London, probably for execution, but never reached there, dying en-route

Felton is nice little place. I was up there with work a couple of years ago. Highways England are just beginning the process of upgrading the last bits of singler carriageway A1 between Morpeth and Ellingham.

We've been through before (Oct 2019), the old bridge over the River Coquet was a renown bottleneck on 'The Great North Road'

One, of only 4 (or 5) town centre 'Yards' that remain

And, what could be 'Back Bellks Court' (I couldn't see a sign)

I'm not certain if this is the remains of a gas-lamp, or a drinking fountain?

All these Pontefract pictures are almost making me nostalgic for home.
