Squadron of Vulcans in middle of the Great Yorkshire Way Not looking their best without spring or summer planting. This was known locally as the Airport Link Road before it was opened and formally named, linking the M18 to Robin Hood Airport - formerly RAF Finningley, a Cold War Vulcan V bomber base. Sadly now a former civilian airport, but the road remains useful.

St Katherine’s church, Loversall From the church website; "St Katherine’s church has been known to exist since around 1208, but it is likely that the nearby well indicates that there has been a place of worship at Loversall for millennia. The fate of the church has been connected for most of its known history to the owners of the Hall at Loversall. Successive owners being patrons of various generosity towards the church. Many of the families are remembered either in the graveyard or within the church itself." It still has an active and well used graveyard.
