Autumn colour, Upper Cumberworth Whilst exploring a footpath I found that it crosses a field apparently left to nature, with young trees and patches of brambles. There is a seat behind the tree in the centre of the image, and I thought that this might be a Millennium green, but the nearest ones are at Emley and Clayton West; Upper Cumberworth has a small village garden. — Autumn colour, Upper Cumberworth Credit: Humphrey Bolton

Old milestone

A view across the A629 in Shepley. The milestone has been painted recently. But in the distance the two masts of Emley Moor Transmitter. The shorter one was a replacement for the original which collapsed from the weight of snow in 1963. Now that needs repairs and alterations so the thinner structure has been set up beside it.
