Is that the weir at Sprotbrough Lock? We used to occasionally row up to it to turn round when I rowed at Doncaster. Nowhere near as terrifying as crewing an eight up through the lock ahead of the annual head race.

ETA, I was aware of the Dogsbody connection, but didn't realise there was a plaque.

I had a ride out, & dragged my carcass up 'Bullcliffe'/Denby Dale Road/A636
(the road to Clayton West/Denby Dale/Holmfirth, from Wakefield (via jct 39/M1)
It'll be the first time I've ridden up there, in maybe 2 years, & I'd forgotten what a long drag it is (when you're unfit)

I wondered why it felt 'sunken' around it; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6044967

There is a large marker/distance stone, just off Ings Road, in Wakefield, by Sainsburys (which in itself, was one of the countrys first by-passes, opening in 1831!!)

It would appear that it had been repaired/replaced, in the past 2 years
That said, all credit to whomever, for doing so, rather than removing it
