Old milestone I cleaned and repainted this milestone on the Doncaster Saltersbrook turnpike of 1740 in 2016.  It is on a piece of cut-off original road westwards from what was the Flouch Inn, now closed.  On a visit in 2021 the lettering was refreshed, always difficult on these old weathered stones.

Old milestone Just within the Barnsley boundary, in 2002 this West Riding CC milestone was without its backing stone and leaning <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6099189">SE1901 : Old Milestone by the A616, Whams Road, Dunford parish</a>. Later that year it was stolen. In 2021 it was seen on an auction site. Being 'listed' it was recovered and taken to Barnsley. I cleaned and repainted it, the Conservation Officer sourced a new stone and the Highways Department set it back by the roadside, just north of the last house on Whams Road, in July 2022. Grade II listed 1315028.

Old milestone A view of the left side of the West Riding CC milestone dating from 1893/94 on Whams Road.   This shows the lovely piece of well shaped new stone to which the metal is attached by stainless steel bolts.

Old milestone This, once sad looking, sunken milestone at Crow Edge had, in 2017 been dug out and the wall behind it repaired.   It is one of the 615 milestones erected in 1893/94 by the family firm of Gill and Frank Stead of Mirfield for the newly-formed West Riding County Council.  Over half are still to be found by the roadside all over the old West Riding.   This one has been smartly painted in a similar pattern to several others in this part of Yorkshire.

Becalmed No breeze this morning to turn the sails. This wind turbine at a works near Eckland, on the A628, has been here for many years-more than 30 to my recollection. Unlike it's neighbours on Spicer Hill in the distance, which are far more recent.

Bullhouse Mine water Remediation Scheme Ochreous discharge, caused by water building up inside the old Bullhouse colliery working (closed 1918), have long polluted the Upper Stretches of the Don. The minewater now passes over cascades to allow reaction with air prior to entering the lagoon, encouraging the ochre to drop out more quickly. After treatment in the lagoons, the water passes through a reedbed which  act as a further treatment level by trapping any remaining fine particles suspended in the water.
