Repurposed mooring post, south bank of the Calder
Now used as a bird table. On the north bank is the remains of a conveyor chute, for loading coal [I think] into boats.

Temporary staircase into Fall Ing lock, Wakefield
The Canal & River Trust has been fitting new gates at Fall Ing lock. On 6th March 2016, a few days before re-opening the lock, it invited people to come and have a look. This is the easternmost lock on the Calder & Hebble Navigation. Despite what the OS map says, it is Fall Ing, not Fall Ings. 'Ing' is a local word for a riverside area that floods. The lock is 120 ft long, 17 ft 6 ins wide and raises the water level normally by 9 ft 3 ins [approx 37m, 5.4m and 2.8m].
