Drones at All Change #SDR200

Had a great night watching the opening of #SDR200 celebrating 200 years of railways in the Northeast region in Bishop Auckland. A part of a larger UK celebration called Railway 200.

Leg's Cross north of Piercebridge

I've driven along the B6275 (road to Piercebridge) and never really noticed this structure before. I'll be honest it looks old, but some might say not much to look at. The Leg's Cross is made from sandstone where the climate has literally had it's way and therefore looks less like a cross and more like a lump of 3 stones. aerial photograph of Leg's Cross It's a Saxon cross made around 9th Century and thought to be made from Roman masonry found at the local Roman fort. There are a lot of of myths surrounding Leg's or Legg's Cross and how the name came about. This includes Saxon stories through to a King of England. It's thought that this could be some kind of boundary marker, grave stone or a marking of a cross road. One thing for sure is that it is in good nick for its age! aerial photograph of Leg's Cross County Durham, the Noth Pennines, and the Eden Valley: 40 Favourite Walks
