The centre of Yorkshire

[Deleted Member D]

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.

My place

This is the tree at the centre of Yorkshire.

About 511km from my house, at least it is 511 to Wothersome.

The significance of the tree

Apart from google earth indicating the tree as being the centre of Yorkshire, it is also the descendant of the bur tree in which a boy sniper used to shoot and kill Lord Dacre (one of the Lancastrian commanders) with a crossbow from at the battle of Towton in 1461.

I thought all "Wezzies" believed themselves to be the centre af Yorkshire.

from my back window, I see my other home, an Abbey and a Spectrum, funnily enough
its all 3 rolled into 1 so I look out of a window into a window that in turn I can look
out of and be literally anywhere else in the world the t2 will take it.

where ever I my roam; my Abbey provides my home, with apologies to Paul Young and
Metallica, not necessarilly in that order!
