A few new to me benchmarks and a face plate all within the grounds of St Nicholas church and it's massive grave yard.

Saturday 18th


Not from today
Quite an appropriate street name, as there’s a Calder Clarion club in the city

What came first
The Socialist newspaper, or the street-name?

(off) Doncaster Road/A638
Belle-Vue
Wakefield

’Calder’ has quite a famous member; Barry Hoban
(I know his sister & her hubby, quite well)

This thread is 6 years old today. 337 pages on and I'm humbled to think that my little idea is still inspiring you good people to go for a ride and explore our wonderful islands and beyond.

It looks like I might be having a trip to York this afternoon, so I'll keep my eyes open for anything that I've not seen

I've lived here for 20 odd years and visited regularly from being a kid. I'm still finding things I haven't seen.

A rather large Mile Post in the centre of Dunchurch on the old A45, distances to London (obviously!), Oxford, Leicester and Holyhead.

Been past that tons of times, including yesterday, as it's only a couple of miles away from home when I'm heading South, but never got round to taking a picture

We're off up the A1 to Edinburgh, on Friday
Hopefully, with stops, en-route, in; Morpeth, Felton, Alnwick, Berwick-upon-Tweed (plus wherever else!!)

I'll be taking photographs, some may be uploaded whilst there, others may have to wait until we return

In addition to the above, we've booked for the Isle Of Man, in July

Although that is an organised tour, as the complete package is approximately what SWMBO found as just the ferry fare!

Even better!, there's a discount (she thinks £25 each), as we don't need collecting from the house, as the coach departs/'feeders' arrive less than half-a-mile from home, we'll walk round with the cases
