We took a trip along to the Leeds Market this morning and topped up with some fruit & veg, and some chicken, lamb and pork.
Close by is the old Corn Exchange building so we called in to see the view from the inside.
And what a sight...
The roof is a "work of art" made from timber...
In fact the whole inside is very stylish with the lower floor where the auctioning for the corn took place to the two upper balcony areas which were offices and are now retail shopping...
Looking at the...
Other end with a large clock and the detailed workmanship that has gone into the ceiling, wrought iron and plaster finish...
Untied the NB about mid day and headed down river toward Castleford....
Passing beneath....
Concrete bridge with the M1 in the distance.... It's been another summers day....
The locks are huge on this section of river.....
Self operated, but electric they seem larger when...
All day, 6 locks we have been the only boat... this is Fishpond Lock...
A bit like waiting for a number 9 bus at the number 6 bus stop...
At the last lock of the day....
Lemonroyd Lock it felt more like we were like the smallest fish in the sea as this lock dropped 13 foot 6 inches.....
Not all quiet though as...
Their was a queue to use this phone box...
The sun went behind clouds but...
Cruising was just "Choice"...
We moored up at Castleford around the corner on the canal section to York. We'll do a U E in the morning and head toward Wakefield and eventually the Macclesfield canal.
As we approached our mooring we passed a familiar named NB also just mooring up...
Tom & Jan off NB Waiouru left York yesterday.
As we passed we said 'Gidday" and Tom strolled around to our side of the canal later to discus our travelling plans....
So tomorrow onwards in the summer sun heading toward our destination of Aynho by late October...
