Marton Hall Farm, West Marton, Yorkshire

A well-established farm not far south of the A 59. View from the north.

West Marton Village, Yorkshire

A small village on the A 59. There's a small Post Office, but no church or pub - they are in East Marton, a mile away.

Barn or agricultural store off A 59

Surprisingly this rather ramshackle building is comparatively modern as it does not appear on the 1910 edition six-inch map. It is about 100 yards south of the A 59 half a mile west of the West Marton crossroads.

Dr Neil Clifton

A road no longer....

The A 59 (no longer a trunk since completion of the M65) has been subject to many improvements and straightenings over the years. In several places this has left 'dead' loops of the old road, as here between West Marton and Gisburn in Yorkshire. Some of the road markings can still be discerned. View looking east, near to where 'Dick Turpin's' (a mobile roadside cafe) is normally parked, but on this day he was not there.

Bridleway near Stainton

This track starts just north of Stainton Hall to climb the W slope of Brightenber Hill. On the 1940s map this route is shown as a surfaced "motor" road leading to Coniston Cold. View looking north from its junction with a minor road near Stainton.

A59 What appears to be a quiet country road, once was the main road between Liverpool and York, when in the 1980s the new road was built 20m to the right. It is now used as a lorry stop, at the eastern end of the old road Dick Turpin&#039;s roadside cafe will sell you an excellent cup of tea and a bacon butty
