Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria.

An old signpost which even gives fractions of a mile in furlongs. You won't see many of those these days. There are 8 furlongs to the mile which makes one furlong equal to 220 yards.

Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria.

Some impressive rapids on the River Eden on the southern outskirts of Kirkby Stephen. There is an old railway track here which has been turned into a footpath and there is also a footbridge, the Stenkrith Millenium Bridge, over the river from which this photograph was taken.
