In reply to Roger Taylor. Hello Roger. I had no idea the bridge over the M1 was called that, thanks for letting me know. I will enjoy finding out more.

There was also a Needles Eye Folly on the Wentworth Castle estate near Barnsley (since lost). The M1 cut through the wood near it and the large foot bridge which spans the M1 at Dodworth (just south of J37) is called the Needle Eye bridge.

In reply to John Holland. Hello John. Quite possibly, but it isn't something I investigated. The whole subject of Masonry and architecture is quite fascinating and I really should learn more.

I wonder if the Nostell Park and Wentworth Woodhouse pyramids also had Masonic significance? The all-seeing ‘eye’ and the pyramid are powerful Masonic symbols. Just a thought…

It seems like a Winn/win story for both the lodge and the NT.
