Railway airshafts - Drewton Tunnel

North of Riplingham Grange. Drewton Tunnel is one of the longest disused tunnels in the United Kingdom at a length of 1 mile 354 yards (1.933 km). It was an impressive feature of the Hull-Barnsley railway line.

Buildings at Little Wold Vineyard

The Little Wold Vineyard appears to be going from strength to strength since it began operations in 2012. The building on the right is the tasting shed where groups of visitors meet to taste the wines and find out more about Little Wold's short history, its wine-making processes and its plans for the future.

Old milestone

This mounting-block style milestone is found on several roads in the old East Riding of Yorkshire. The paint on the plate of this one which is on a minor road east of Weedley Farm entrance has deteriorated considerably. The edges of the plate are sealed with cementitious material. It probably dates from the late 19C following the formation of County Councils.

Sugar Loaf's Western Portal

This is an aerial view of the western portal of Sugar Loaf Tunnel on the old Hull and Barnsley Railway. The railway was closed in the late 50s. The brick-arched bridge, at the bottom of the photo, hasn't had sides on the top of it for many years from what I can remember. It would terrify me to walk over it! To the east of this 100m long tunnel, there was a very deep cutting that led to the much longer Drewton Tunnel's western portal. The cutting has virtually been filled in now with quarrying waste. That's a huge amount of material!

Dating back at least to the twelfth century, this isolated parish church also serves the Village of Little Weighton - a mile to the north east of Rowley.
