Brownie Wood

Ford on Sour Beck I am sure that I forded here about 9 years ago when walking my son's dog. Either I am getting older or the water is getting deeper, as I certainly didn't fancy my chances of crossing it this time.

Former Sports Ground in Catterick Garrison Too late for any more sports. It used to be a venue for military ceremonies, like when massed bands might beat the retreat.

Looks like another shopping centre is about to emerge.

Lloyds Bank, Catterick Garrison Originally opened as an agency by Cox & Co, the London paying agents for the army, during the First World War. Subsequently rebuilt and extended several times as Catterick Camp grew and the number of men requiring cash grew with it. 

Until the 1970s most soldiers were paid cash, so very large sums were kept here. Nowadays most customers use the ATMs in the extension lobby on the right hand side. 

In the 1970s cars and military vehicles drew up in front of this building. Today there's a car park at the back. The pillars were originally made of wood - until a truck knocked one down. Now the replacement steel supports are protected by a resin based exterior shell - and the more recent flower bed.
