A168 at Allerton Park

The A168 runs parallel with the A1[M] at this point, using the south bound carriageway of the old A1. The wall to the right is the boundary of Allerton Park.

Gordon Hatton

Moor Lane

The track runs for about 2 miles connecting two ancient routes: the Great North Road and the old Roman road of Rudgate. It is therefore likely that this is itself an ancient thoroughfare, now classed as a public bridleway.

Bridleway signpost

This wooden post at a junction of two bridleways is marked (left) to "A1 0.7km". Signs in kilometres are still rare in England: Bradford Council erected them widely in the 1980s, but I guess this dates from the 1970s. The old Great North Road in this vicinity had already been bypassed in the 1960s by the A1, which later became the A168 when it was in turn replaced by the A1(M)

The old Great North Road beyond Claro House

This is the old Great North Road which in this vicinity had already been bypassed in the 1960s by the A1, which later became the A168 when it was in turn replaced by the A1(M). The sign saying "public bridleway only" is reinforced by concrete blocks.

Phone box on the old Great North Road

The old Great North Road in this vicinity had already been bypassed in the 1960s by the A1, which later became the A168 when it was in turn replaced by the A1(M). Emergency phones like this have been superseded, other than on motorways, in the era of the mobile phone. SE4060 : Abandoned SOS Phone shows a close look.

Thornbar Farm

The farm was adjacent to the old Great North Road which is now only a bridleway apart from farm access.

Lake east of Nineveh Farm

This doesn't appear on maps of even 50 years ago. I presume it's the result of either quarrying or mining subsidence since then.
