Places to see in ( Castleford - UK )
Castleford is a town in the metropolitan borough of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England. Historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire, to the north of the town centre the River Calder joins the River Aire and the Aire and Calder Navigation.
Castleford is the site of a Roman settlement. Within the historical Castleford Borough are the suburbs of Airedale, Cutsyke, Ferry Fryston, Fryston, Glasshoughton, Half Acres, Hightown, Lock Lane, Wheldale and Whitwood. Castleford is home to the rugby league Super League team Castleford Tigers.
Queen’s Park in Castleford provides evidence of Roundhouses used by the Anglo Saxons. This was a strategic area due to the views of the entire settlement. The history of the area includes Oliver Cromwell’s encampment in nearby Knottingley and Ferrybridge (originally thought to be in Castleford itself) whilst his forces laid siege to Pontefract Castle.
Castleford is only 0.93 miles (1.5 km) away from the M62 at Junction 32 via the A656 road. It has other A roads that criss-cross the town and provide access to Junction 31 on the same motorway. The River Aire and the River Calder have a confluence just north west of the town and also feed the Aire and Calder Navigation. Whilst it is an industrial waterway, it also hosts tourism with moorings on the Castleford Cut of the Navigation.
Castleford also had a second service to Leeds that left eastwards and swung north onto the former Castleford to Garforth Line, which would see services calling at Ledston & Kippax, before arriving in Garforth and continuing to Leeds.

Places to see in ( Goole - UK )
Goole is a town, civil parish and inland port located at junction 36 off the M62 via the A614 and approximately 45 miles from the North Sea at the confluence of the rivers Don and Ouse in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, although historically within the West Riding of Yorkshire. Goole lies 20 miles (32 km) south of York and 27 miles (43 km) west of Hull.
The port, which is the UK's furthest inland port, is highly versatile and capable of handling nearly 3 million tonnes of cargo per annum, making it one of the most important ports on the east coast of England. Goole is twinned with Złotów in Poland. Goole was informally twinned with Gibraltar in the 1960s; at that time, Gibraltar Court was named in Goole and Goole Court was named in Gibraltar. Glass is produced in Goole, which is also the centre of an agricultural district. The town's former large employer was in clothing manufacture for the big multiples,however this ended in the late 2000s.
Goole has a modestly sized town centre with many high street shops, independent retailers and public houses. The main shopping area is Wesley Square, off Boothferry Road (which has been pedestrianised around the main shopping area). There is a modern retail development in the town centre, a leisure centre next to the docks, and the Goole and District Hospital, to the north of the town. A theatre and cinema, Junction opened in 2009, giving the town access to live music, theatre, comedy, satellite screening broadcasts and film.
Goole has a several junior schools and a High School with a Sixth Form College attached to it. Goole College is affiliated with Hull College. There are Further Education colleges in Selby, Scunthorpe and Bishop Burton. At Goole College there is a program run for the older students at the High School(for the pupils in year 10 and above) to see what opportunities are held at the College.
The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway built a line from Pontefract and Wakefield in 1848, and the North Eastern Railway connected the port with Doncaster and Hull in 1870. The prosperity from the coal and general cargo trade with the West Riding industrial area continued for 150 years after the opening of the canal. Today Goole railway station is at the junction of the Hull and Doncaster Branch and the Pontefract Line. Service is provided to Hull Paragon Interchange, Doncaster, Sheffield and Leeds, and the commuter stations in between. Goole is south of the M62 linking it with Kingston upon Hull in the east and the West Yorkshire urban belt in the west. The M18 runs west of the town, connecting it with South Yorkshire, the South and the Midlands. There are bus services to surrounding towns and villages
Goole's most prominent landmarks are its twin water towers, dubbed the salt and pepper pots. In the winter months, Goole's gas holder on Anderson Road is visible across the north of the town. Many of the hoists and cranes on the dockside can be seen across the town. The steeple of Goole Parish Church is tall enough to be seen across the town. The town's landscape is made up mostly of utility and industrial structures. A clock tower is within the main shopping district of the town on a roundabout which is on the site of the former open-air marketplace.

Canal walk to Uk's largest Ship Graveyard | River Severn
Teresa and I took a lovely peaceful walk along the Gloucester to Sharpness Canal looking to visit the Purton Hulks discovering the history of the area and learning about the Rail bridge disaster.
The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal is a ship canal in the west of England, between Gloucester and Sharpness; for much of its length it runs close to the tidal River Severn.
The Purton Hulks or Purton Ships' Graveyard is a number of abandoned boats and ships, deliberately beached beside the River Severn near Purton in Gloucestershire, England, to reinforce the river banks. Most were beached in the 1950s and are now in a state of considerable decay. The site forms the largest ship graveyard in mainland Britain.
The Severn Railway Bridge (historically called the Severn Bridge) was a bridge carrying the railway across the River Severn between Sharpness and Lydney in Gloucestershire, England. On 25 October 1960, in thick fog and a strong tide, two barges (named the Arkendale H and Wastdale H) which had overshot Sharpness Dock, collided with one of the columns of the bridge after being carried upstream.[10] Two bridge spans collapsed into the river.[10] As they fell, parts of the structure hit the barges causing the fuel oil and petroleum they were carrying to catch fire. Five people died in the incident.

A (4K) Drivers Eye View Hull to Gilberdyke. Under the Humber Bridge.
This Video is for entertainment purposes only. Welcome to our trip across from Hull to Stockport via Gilberdyke - Selby - Leeds - Huddersfield and Stalybridge on board an English Electric Type 3 Class 37 locomotive. This is from Hull - Gilberdyke under the Humber Bridge. Should anyone question why this is uploaded in parts like this, it is due to the file sizes when editing, rendering and uploading video to YouTube, If you have done this then you will know exactly what we are on about. Hope you enjoy our little trip in these Covid second wave Tier 3 plus lockdown times.
In cab sounds were recorded at both ends as Drivers were under instruction so a lot of talking was taking place in the lead cab. That is why there are some bits without AWS etc. We hope you enjoy this video. Many thanks to LSL TOC LTD for affording us access with our camera. Apologies for the bits and bobs of dirt on the windscreen and the fact it is shot straight into the Sun. Couldn't do much about that!

Knottingley West Level Crossing
Monday September 10 2018 at 15.39 and 16.13. No train. This is just 440 yards from Knottingley LC. After the left turn the school is on the right and the entrance to Network Rail’s Knottingley Depot is on the left. The sign “You are now at work” has recently been put up and is in the wrong place. Almost everyone reading it is a member of the public who is not at work. NR workers must drive past it and stop at the gate where it should be. The other crossing had barriers fitted in 1967 but this one still had wooden gates in 2012. A crossing keeper reported being verbally abused by a member of the public that year. In 1979 British Railways wanted to close this crossing but Parliament refused. 139 trains a day were using the crossing then so traffic queues at the other crossing would have been even worse. NR say 84 trains use it now but 24 is more likely. The footbridge is a recent replacement but the old one was lower with only 24 steps. The road surface around here is full of holes.

LITTLE SMEATON: Selby Parish #10 of 74
Now we come to the smaller of the two Smeaton brothers but in stark contrast to the larger Kirk Smeaton, this video is actually longer because of a natural feature within its boundaries where this video ends. Yes, this is a much smaller village with a lot less in it than big brother Kirk over the Went, but I found much more to get my teeth into here.
For starters the River Went looked fabulous here, and we cross it twice in this video – once on a road, the second on a footbridge that links the two Smeatons together. It is also on the footpath that one of the quirkiest little features I think I have ever found anywhere is to be seen inside the old red phone box. I won’t give too much away here but watch the video and you’ll likely agree with me!
Kirk Smeaton supplies both villages with most of the amenities here but this village does have the park and playground, whilst the pub, shops and school are all located within a short walking distance by crossing the Went. This parish does have its own council though, separate from its neighbour, and as such there still is a parish noticeboard to chuck a TVI card onto!
The various quarries in the Went Valley area have caused a modicum of distress to locals here, after one in particular planned an expansion which threatened the very existence of Brockadale Nature Reserve – a steep sided gorge formed by glacial ice melt that has never had its sides cultivated in its entire history. The site is home to some rare species of flowers and is heavily protected and maintained voluntarily by the residents of this parish.
It’s there where we finish the video today on a bench that simply invites us to enjoy the view, and in this video, you can too. Welcome to LITTLE SMEATON.

DARRINGTON: Wakefield Parish #3 of 30
How easily the glorious British weather can change! That's a sure fact of living in England. You never know whether or not you need a waterproof jacket or a fair of flip flops in this country. Both kinds of weather are on display here for sure, and that's because I filmed this one over the course of two days. There was no point going back to Wentbridge after being in the village to film that section of the Thorpe Audlin video, so I hung around and edited that onto the front of this video's main village....and what a village this one is.
Predominantly rural from the year dot, this place has been through the ages slowly developing with time, but seemingly hanging on as much as possible to the past. Some of the history surrounding the parish here, some other parishes could only dream of having. Look at some of the names involved with this one - Robin Hood, J S Fletcher, Dick Turpin, John Nevison, William the Conquerer...you see what I mean right?
Feast your eyes then on West Yorkshire's rural history, a lot of it unchanged in many ways. Some of it unfortunately is only a memory, like for example the tithe barn that once stood between the old school and the 13th century church, replaced now with a small garden/recess area and an information board about the structure. Still though, there's an amazing selection of old buildings to gaze upon, like the gorgeous dovecote and the Old Hall, and in Wentbridge, the prettiest church you've ever seen at St John's.
Yep, it's all here in a parish with a modest 1,408 population. Farms, fields, fabulous old buildings, tales of highwaymen and outlaws along the Great North Road and in Barnsdale Forest respectively, you're never short of something to get stuck into when you come to this part of West Yorkshire.
Cop for the very interesting slice of Wakefield known as DARRINGTON.

Walking Around Sharpness Docks
Sharpness Docks opened in 1874 making the original entrance to The Gloucester & Sharpness Canal, opened in 1827, redundant. The docks today is Gloucestershire’s only working country port, but nothing old fashioned about this modern complex. Ships trade here from far and wide with a numerous type of mainly cargoes in bulk.
Many fascinating things can be seen as you walk around the perimeter of the docks, the River Severn, Gloucester & Sharpness Canal and if you are lucky a ship or two moving in and out of the port.

KELLINGTON: Selby Parish #12 of 74
We might be making fairly slow progress through the district of Selby but there's a reason for that. You see, the South of the district has plenty of these small village, whilst the North, which is closer to York, is slightly more urbanised the closer you get to Yorkshire's historic capital. Mind you, the longer we spend in Selby, the better, because I reckon these are some of the most interesting settlements in the area.
None more so than todays, which has a strange set of boundaries that include Whitley Bridge station (which weirdly, is much closer to Eggborough, and is named after Whitley, yet falls within this parish...it makes no sense but that's how it is!), and also includes Beal Carrs, which really given it's name should belong to Beal...but it doesn't!
The village itself is quite small, it's made up of a cluster of houses that sprung up as a result of Kellingley Colliery, and there's an older section of the village which has been around much longer since the days of the place being known by a different name. Amenities wise this one has a few bits and bobs that you generally find in every village, like a pub and a church, although some of the other essentials like the shops and post office have closed down.
The church is rather interesting too. It stands all on it's own away from the village on a road that's just seemingly in the middle of nowhere, although there are some footpaths leading to it. The graveyard is a little overgrown in places, but there still is a well maintained cemetery adjoining it. The bells of the church are believed to be the ones that Sir Walter Scott based the belles of Templestowe on in his novel Ivanhoe.
This is the small North Yorkshire village that gives it's name to a Royal Navy ship. This is KELLINGTON.

Aerial Views from Eggborough to Ferrybridge, North and West Yorkshire, UK - 16th December, 2012
This film features footage taken from an aeroplane en-route to Leeds Bradford Airport of part of North Yorkshire, featuring both Eggborough and Ferrybridge Power Stations. The footage is at dusk but both power stations clearly stand out with their vast steam plumes rising into the sky.
Eggborough Power Station is a large coal-fired power station in North Yorkshire, England, capable of co-firing biomass. It is siuated on the River Aire, between the towns of Knottingley and Snaith, deriving its name from the nearby village of Eggborough. The station has a generating capacity of 1,960 megawatts, enough electricity to power 2 million homes, equivalent to the area of Leeds and Sheffield.
Ferrybridge C power station is currently the only power station operating on the site. Since 2004 is operated by Scottish and Southern Energy plc. It is capable of co-firing biomass and is currently being fitted with Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) plant.
FANTASTIC SEA VIEWS at WHITBY HOLIDAY PARK | Saltwick Bay Yorkshire | Vlog 423
As part of our Yorkshire tour in October 2021, we stayed at the Whitby Holiday Park and were allocated a camping pitch right on the edge of the cliffs at Saltwick Bay, Whitby in Yorkshire. This is one of the best pitches we had all season, with amazing clifftop views. The Holiday Park has lots of facilities for campers and is certainly a good choice for all the family.
