Bimble around Barton on Humber

Hello. Today was a good day for going out. The sun was shining so I got my finger out, no dawdling, packed a sandwich and a drink, and went. I have been to Barton many times before but not had a good look around it. I found a street map which came with the local free paper, been saving it in case it came in useful. The blue line is where I walked, copy that into Bikehike.co.uk and it comes to five and a half miles. Woolly hat and gloves needed it was f f f freezing. 

There are a lot of old historic buildings in Barton, it is steeped in history. The Salvation Army Citadel used to be a Methodist Chapel. 

Next to it in Queen Street is the Wilderspin School Museum.

There are two big churches in Barton quite close to each other. This is St Mary's Church. 

The door wasn't locked so I had a look inside. 

Just across the road is this plaque on a wall at the entrance to a big white house. 

St peters Church is close by. 

The Mill is a pub,  closed at the moment. 

Bardney Hall is a Boutique Hotel, on Whitecross Street.

Baysgarth House Museum, is set in a large park, which was very pleasant to walk around. The front looks lovely in this picture, but the entrance at the back does not look so appealing. 

There is a very large cemetery just off Barrow Road so I had a stroll around it. I thought this was a good idea, a board with large hooks on to hang up the water bottles so stop them blowing around. 

At the far end of the cemetery is this unusual building. Possibly a previous church, doesn't look like it's used at the moment, maybe it's for storage. 

Had to take a picture of the Humber bridge, didn't I. 

Barton Haven. 

I think this boat has been abandoned. The sun is going down, I'd better get back to the car. 

It was a nice way to spend the afternoon, even though it was bloomin cold. Got some sun on my face and fresh air in my lungs. Feeling pleased. Mission accomplished. 

Thanks for popping in. Now I am going shopping. Catch ya later. Toodle pip.   ilona
