The CC Trig Point bagger thread, now incorporating other interesting geographs

Back to work today, having had 2 days-off (worked; 23rd/24th/25th/26th/27th/28th)
My next day-off is Sunday 9th, I think

So, the reason for writing this, is.............
Hopefully, there'll be a trip out

I'm thinking about Lincoln, as we've not been for at least 25 years (maybe closer to 30?)
Obviously, there'll be lots of photographs, if we go
(or from wherever we go)

Spotted this well worn benchmark on a corner of a roadside barn at Prattshayes Farm, Littleham (SY024807).

 

[Badger_Boom]

A couple more from our continuing Devon adventure. Rather than the usual bench mark, I spotted a flush bracket on the north-east abutment of Kersbrook Lane bridge.

 

[PeteXXX]

A Monument to the Civil War on Barnes Meadow alongside Bedford Road, Hamtun.
It's not marked on the OS or Google maps and I can't find any history on the site. It's very overgrown but before it was, I couldn't find a a plaque or anything else concerning its details.

The arrow is to the Monument location. The red/green blob is where the pillbox is posted a short while ago.

 

[Drago]

Ive cycled past that pillbox many a time going to and from the Volvo dealer. I'll have to investigate next time.

It's going to be different destinations, somewhere within (the south-western portion) West Yorkshire

Friday 7th

‘H. Gwynne Jones’ building
Pinderfields General Hospital
Wakefield

I’ve worked here for almost 25years, & visited ‘HGJ’ a lot over that time
Until yesterday, l had no idea that this blocked up doorway, & date-stone existed

It’s located beyond the container pods, which are part of our COVID swabbing centre

It’s the only building left on the site that dates back to when it was the ‘West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum’
Aka; ‘Stanley Royd’

Edited; Saturday 8th @ 09:45
One of the other staff (who has been there a lot longer than me) added this one onto FaceBook, after l added mine into an album
No age (even approximate) given
