Derwent Bridge
(spanning the river of that name)

The Derwent marks the county boundary for a reasonable distance
Note, the 'land-locked' arches, that allow for high water/'flood-plain'

I wonder if that means the bizarre tri-partate dispute between the owner, tenant (a brewery chain) and the local authority has been resolved?

I'm not sure if this is a DIY 'Slow Down', or the bike has been removed from the drain/culvert behind the wall??

A long way to go
(thankfully!)

South Milford
It's an oddity, like Sherburn-in-Elmet
- Leeds postcode
- Pontefract dialling code
- District of Selby
- North Yorkshire

This was the route from Tadcaster, to join ‘The Great North Road’ at Brotherton
Nowadays, it's a dead-end, having been bypassed by a newer road

Looking south, towards where the A63 intersects

It leads off, by the white building, in the distance; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2274726

‘Brayton Bridge’
Selby Canal

There were several Perch swimming about in the shadow, under the bridge

Rocking Horse
Barden Road
EastMoor
Wakefield

A purpose built pub (1955), to serve the large Council housing estate
Apparently (& sadly), it lost its original fittings, during a 2005 refit

You left your bike in a good place to avoid it being stolen.
