Great tool. There’s one less than 500m from my house I didn’t even know existed.

Hours of fun, hundreds of bike rides
Turns out I grew up a few hundred yards from a heavy anti aircraft battery on the edge of the moors
... and a fake decoy town designed to make the luftwaffe think they were over Leeds!
Called a Permanent Starfish!
Get riding!

Yup, use it all the time, quoted the location for my post from the db.
And, a couple of good Facebook groups too

Rode up through Folkingham airfield last week, quite an interesting place albeit private land…….I pedalled quickly! That’s got quite a bit of wartime and Cold War history. Was a Thor missile base in the late 50s/60s and also where they tested BRM cars. Now mainly full of scrap plant machinery and a clay pigeon ground.
