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

[PeteXXX]

A few finds on t'other days hike & ride around the Peak District, Bamford and Ladybower in particular..

A decent BM Bamford church..

Close to the bridge over the River Derwent in Bamford. The bridge is too narrow & busy to check for a BM!

Carr Lane, Thornhill, a well worn mark covered in ivy on a gatepost. I wasn't the first person to pull the growth away to search for it but I persevered!!

Another faded BM on Carr Lane.

Yorkshire Bridge, over the River Derwent just south of Ladybower Reservoir completes my offering to the cause 😊

And, obviously, the Trig Point on Winhill, overlooking all of the above stuff..

Woodhouse Junior School (as was)
Wakefield Road
Normanton
Wakefield

All the Ivy/shrubbery/trees have been cleared away, with the brickwork sandblasted & the roof repaired

It looks far better than it did in 2024, when I last photographed it
(I do wonder, every so often, what would have happened if 'Senior Management' & her business partner had bought it instead of the office that they did)

The Head Masters house is separately/privately owned

Parts of the old churchyard boundary walls

Plus, the Cherry Blossom

The gates, from High Street (it becomes Snydale Road, from these gates)
The 'Upper Cemetery' refers to the extending/enlargement
This photograph was taken yesterday, hence the cloudy sky

Two brickworks chimneys can be seen in the background
The 2 ‘white boxes’ in the far distance are the ‘Amazon’ & ‘Newcold’ facilities near jct30/M62

The 'WCWW' plaque is just to the south of this row; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/366482

Hill House Farmhouse
Woodhouse
Wakefield Road

I know the son of the owners, but haven't been in the house, just the business premises behind
It was 'DF Reynolds' (MOT testing & repairs), now seemingly closed

Quite surprisingly, there's no photo on Geograph, but it's beyond the last tree on the right; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4764778
