The accessories suit the bike well, they add to its appearance rather than detract from it as is sometimes the case. Getting rear ended by that miniature Merc worked out well..  |

An experiment Pete ,I'm hoping to do some bike camping next year and these are actually cool bags undo two nuts and the bag plus it's support come straight off ,add a couple of ice packs (most campsites will freeze them up for you ) and my milk and bacon etc stay fresh I've put plastic tubs inside them so they keep their shape when I'm using them as panniers, they wont take much weight but they are great for bulky stuff 15 litres a side and £20 for the pair .Biggest draw back so far ,they only just fit through my gate  |

It's what's left of a windmill ,don't know if it's been converted into a dwelling but there is one at the opposite end of the village that has (Wentworth)

I never realised there were so many old windmills in that part of yorkshire, there was an interesting looking one opposite The Cobblers pub in Pontefract

Two in Wentworth which is only a small village ,but the work must have been there for them at one time ,mind you this is one of the houses in Wentworth so maybe that could explain it  |
