Some eighteen years after the West Riding County Council had gone out of existence, this signpost remained at the junction of Ben Lane and Skipton Road. There were once hundreds if not thousands of similar signs, very helpful to cyclists as they displayed the six-figure grid reference. Most were removed or had their heads cut off, but workmen probably missed this one in the foliage. Some time later I noticed it had gone, but later saw it affixed to someone's house wall - it has now disappeared from there, as well.
