Flying Scotsman at London Road, Carlisle
The northern end of the Settle to Carlisle railway had been closed since February 2016, due to a major landslip near Armathwaite (location NY4949 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5170658 ). After months of complex engineering work, this was the first day that train services through to Carlisle were resumed.
To celebrate the reopening of the line, Flying Scotsman was chartered by the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway http://kwvr.co.uk/ for a special return trip from Oxenhope.

Old GPO telephone cable marker, London Road (1)
A rusty cast iron post from the Edwardian era, located near the junction of London Road (A6) and Trevor Street. Used to mark the location of underground telephone cables or joints.
For more detail, see photo of an identical post about 35m along the street

Two more of these markers can be seen further out of town, on London Road at Harraby http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5222640 & http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5222642.
UPDATE : This marker post has now been removed. It was present in Google Street View images in March 2019, but by September 2020 the post had gone, leaving just a dark mark on the wall behind where it was - see https://goo.gl/maps/TrLBLC9vjnRvEv9s9 .
