Pictures from a second visit to the Ripon area in the last weekend of October (the weekend\u00a0of the clocks changing)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) Odd sign at the Police and Prison Museum<\/a> perhaps related to Victorian “fern mania”, pteridomania<\/a>.\u00a0(R) The remains of mediaeval St. Anne’s chapel\u00a0on the left, and Victorian almshouses on the right. The street name St. Agnesgate is a corruption of St. Anne’s\u00a0Gate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Royal Observer Corp Cold War bunker<\/a> on the western outskirts of York<\/a>. Operational between 1961 and 1991, it was opened to the public in 2006 by English Heritage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) Operations room and (R) plant room of the bunker. In the event of a nuclear war, ten civilian volunteers with the United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organisation<\/a>\u00a0would have sealed themselves inside the bunker, and reported on nuclear explosions and fallout.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Level crossing on the Harrogate Line<\/a>, adjacent to the former Hessay station (closed in 1958).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) The parish church and (R) the Ship Inn<\/a> at\u00a0Aldborough<\/a>, the former Roman site of Isurium Brigantum<\/a>.\u00a0Unfortunately the English Heritage-run visitor centre was closed for the season…\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) The Vyner memorial in Fountains Hall<\/a>\u00a0to the son and daughter that the Vyner family lost during the 2nd World War. (R) View of Fountains Abbey<\/a> at night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) Abbot Huby’s tower, built relatively late in the abbey’s history in the 16th C. (R) The magnificent nave of the abbey church. The stone for the abbey was largely quarried at the site – in fact the original line of quarry face was inside<\/em> the body of the nave!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) View over Hackfall<\/a> – a\u00a0wooded valley\u00a0near Grewelthorpe<\/a> which was turned into a landscaped garden in the mid 18th C by the Aislabies<\/a>, who also owned the Fountains Abbey \/ Studley Royal\u00a0estate.\u00a0(R) Vigorous cluster of velvet shank fungi, Flammulina velutipes<\/em>,\u00a0in Hackfall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Living room of the rental cottage in Shaw Mills [54 3 28 N, 1 36 30 W]. Unusually, the\u00a0central heating and hot water was supplied from a back boiler heated by\u00a0the solid fuel open fire. It was a real treat to come back each evening to find a roaring fire in the grate!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
