I cycled past this sign taken from a bridge over the Leeds Liverpool canal for a couple of years before I noticed what it said in it's reflection in the water.

A little bit further up the towpath is the Leeds industrial museum in the old Armley Mills building, picture taken from the bridge over the canal; a really interesting

Teddington lock has a fine suspension bridge too. Shame I didn't get more of it in the picture
St Catherine's Docks
And an upside down bridge at Grenwich

A friend captured this yesterday shortly after I left her on the English side of the Severn Bridge as she does her LEJoG.
