The Cross-Keys
East Marton
A59 (built as the 'York - Lancaster Turn-Pike')

Now, like many pubs, sadly closed

https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/60164

The Leeds & Liverpool Canal is a better known feature here, due to the bridge that carries the A59 over it
I didn't photograph it this time, as;
1. It was widdling it down
2. I think I've featured it before, as a 'From My Files'?

Skipton is to the right of frame; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6469141

The Panopticon
School Lane
Wycoller
Lancashire

I did have plans to park here, & walk down to the abandoned village in the bottom of the valley, but the weather was dreadful
It was a struggle for SWMBO to even open the car-door, due to the wind, so we'll make plans to revisit & go down to the village another time (it's probably been 25 years since we were last down there)

I'm not entirely sure but I think that the Newlands Hall stables were at risk from the now cancelled Phase 2b of HS2.

An unusual ‘lantern roof’
(off) Jin Whin Hill
Methley/Castleford

I wonder if it's illuminated at night?

I pass this a lot, but I'm normally in the car
View attachment 630505

View attachment 630507

It's to the east of the 'red road' between the railway & Methley Road (A6032)
https://www.geograph.org.uk/showmap.php?gridref=SE4125

I have no idea if it's illuminated but I have sampled their wares many times (and occaionally the neighbouring sandwich shop) in my misspent youth. I also used to drive that way a lot when I used to commute from Pontefract to Leeds by car until I learned to love the train.

They were at risk, yes, & so was a renovated house adjacent to it

Surprisingly there's no photograph of it on Geograph, & I don't have an image either, but if you scroll down to Entrance Into The Estate, From The Altofts Side. the picture above the title shows the renovated house in the distance

Possibly a trip to Whitby tomorrow, after dropping daughter off at Uni, instead of just coming back home?
(she's there 11:00 - 16:00)

I did, but there's not a lot to upload, due to traffic & the weather

Sadly, she told me that she was finishing at 14:00, so I only had about an hour there
Still, it's better than not going!!

'Through The Station Doors'
Whitby
(North Eastern Railway, originally)

We have a Frank Meadow Sutcliffe sepia/B&W print of almost this image
Todays is far more evocative than any l’ve taken the past, due to the Boat being there

https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2583996

It's in the 'front parlour', with date of September 1895
Thus, it was taken only 4 years before our house was built
