On Duncan Street (on the opposite side to the Duncan pub) there are several kerbstones in the bit between Central Road and Briggate that mainly have GPO and some numbers on them.

This is on Broomfield Terrace near to the cricket ground.

It looks a bit like a Templar cross (see sketch in post above, and is carved into a kerbstone in the Market Place, on the opposite side of Boroughgate from the Bay Horse. On the kerb nearby (opposite the Black Bull,) is another unusual carving. It looks like a pair of compasses (Masonic connection?) I'll try and get a photo.Incidentally, the Templar Cross carving nearly succumbed to road "improvements" last week, when two new pedestrian crossing points were constructed (less than ten yards apart.) Luckily the carved kerbstone survived!

I've spotted another unusual kerbstone marking in Otley market place. On the edge of the path which runs diagonally across the square, just in front of the telephone boxes, is carved an asterisk (*).So that's a Templar cross, a Masonic compass, and a "star" (as well as the usual <BL> and F markings.Any theories?
