Back in the day Stubbs used to be the recommended place to obtain a WHS pointing trowel for archaeologists.

Walking back to the car-park, I spotted this shop

'Seasonal Kebab Shop'?
GillyGate
York

You probably have to be of a certain age (or maybe musical tastes) to get this one?

Their vegan kebabs are awesome too.

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)

Just finalising packing & having last pot of tea

I have been warned about “not stopping for every milestone you see!”, especially as for most of the route north of Morpeth bypass we’re on the old Great North Road route
I have wangled a couple of concessions though, for certain locations


‘See you all’ next Saturday evening

‘See you all’ next Saturday evening

Don’t bother looking for the one on the A1 immediately south of Felton. I spent a fruitless few hours trying to find it in a professional capacity with no success. Most of the others are still around though, but it is a busy old road to stop and look.

I saw a few, but have photographed on previous trips up here
I did spot the milestone, just to the south side of the River Coquet, by ‘The Northumberland Arms’
The photograph’s on my camera though, not iPhone

There are a couple marked by the old alignments, where the present road is straightened, leaving the old road as lay-bys
I did manage to remove some of the foliage from the date-stone on Causey Park Bridge
(not far north of the Hebron turning)

I'll have about 700-800 images to sort through, when we get home
It may take me a while, before I upload onto here..............

A benchmark that's been playing hard to get for ages as the gates are always locked but this morning they were open.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

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

FramwellGate Bridge
(over River Wear)
Durham
County Durham

This was part of The Great North Road, until at least into the mid 1950s

It's on the right, near the pedestrian, in green top
