Rush Wold Plantation

Bishop Burton, Greenbanks According to the OS benchmark database there was a benchmark cut into this north facing wall of the house, Greenbanks. Nothing was found. The grey metal box does obscure a large area of the corner of the face of the wall, and it is likely the mark may still be intact, although now hidden from view. — Bishop Burton, Greenbanks Credit: Mel Towler

Old milestone

This 3 step mounting block milestone from the Beverley to Kexby Bridge (River Derwent)tollroad has lost its plate. It is hidden behind the safety barrier on the edge of Deepdale Plantation on the south side of the road. The legend inscribed on the lost metal plate would have read 4/BEVERLEY/25/YORK.

A longer view showing the position of the milestone behind the safety barrier at Deepdale Plantation. In summer it probably disappears under all the brambles and weeds.

Bishop Burton College Main Entrance

This new entrance to the west of the village has taken the pressure off the old main entrance which is in the village and caused traffic congestion at busy times.

This looks like a section of the original road, with the present road running parallel and through a cutting. About half a mile in length it is quite a facility, and I was told is used by some for dubious purposes - I was asked if I was collecting registrations! A union jack flag at each end. Curiouser and curiouser... Me, I know nothing...
