Former Bank & adjacent shop

I'm not certain what bank it would have been?

Leatham and Tews Bank, taken over by Barclays in 1906.

Yesterday's couple of 'finds'.
Firstly in Wandlebury park, an Iron Age fort in the Gog Magog hills, a trig with a warning!

And a rare, to me, upside-down BM on St Andrew church, Stapleford nr. Cambridge.

A trig point I've been meaning to visit for ages at Brampton Hill farm.. Probably the nearest to my abode, too!

Probably lucky I have as it'll vanish under the hedging & ivy soon ☹️
I actually rode past it and checked the other side of the hedge first but spotted it on a second glance.
If it was on public property I think I'd go there with a small axe and open it to view but as it's not on a public right of way 🤷‍♂️

Primitive Street
Carlton
Rothwell
(south of Leeds)

One of only 3 streets by that name*, in the country (according to 'streetmap.co.uk')

This was a grocers/newspaper shop for a lot of years

The reason for the name
The tall-windowed building was a ‘Primitive Methodist Chapel’

* searching on 'streetmap.co.uk, this street doesn't even show up!
(but is on the 25" OS map of 1892 -1914)

A couple of finds on today's hike. I wasn't hunting, as such, but I couldn't pass them by!

Spotted on a farm building in Plas yn Eglwyseg a'r Felin.. I had to bash the weeds out of the way for a clearer pic.

And a Bolt, too, on St Collen's Church, Llangollen.
