Just read a lovely and poetic rant on that other Cas site 'Wakey Planning' thread, total poppycock but poetic all the same.
Apparently Newmarket colliery is now almost a wildlife preserve and lots of ramblers and walkers who don't want to pollute the air by using their cars to drive into the Dales now use Newmarket as a substitute.
Apparently all Wakefield fans who say that Newmarket isn't used for fly tipping and say its an eyesore are being economical with the truth. There's beauty and serenity at Newmarket but no rubbish and it's not an industrial wasteland.
After reading this I felt moved, I felt ashamed!
So I did as the poster suggested and I went to Google earth and took another look at the site, I was puzzled by something, lots of speckles all over the site!
What on earth could that be, some kind of rare plant I thought, maybe a flock of rare wild birds resting in Eden like beauty, serenity and safety of this natural sanctuary!
Intrigued I zoomed in only to have my illusions shattered by the sight of hundreds of old rubber tyres scattered all over the place!
Give me a break!
They make very fine substitute nests for all the Ospreys down there.
