The centre of Yorkshire

Deleted Member D · 22-01-2009, 17:30

According to google earth and geographically speaking, the centre of Yorkshire is right outside my back window.
Its a triangulation point on top of a hill on the ground where the battle of Towton (war of the roses) took place.
Im thrilled to bits to find that out. Not sure why tho ?
Whats outside your back window ?
And is it an arched, square or round window ?
Mines square.

Well out side my back window is a row of houses

but apart from they is my shed with the bird flight attached, the pond (getting made bigger this year) our Bonsai trees

the patio with the pot belly stove & the rabbit hutch & the lovely little things the dogs lay
