Street Art

[Richard A Thackeray]

Ooooh, looks like a Banksy!

Possibly the same local artist who provided the Pontefract selection?

Not quite on the street

In the grounds of the (ex) Stanley Royd Hospital, built as the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum
I assume it's a gardening/allotment clubhouse?

Quite close to the site of this building; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6468882


As an aside;
Before the conversion to flats, 'we' used the old buildings for storage
It wasn't uncommon to see a chap in a thickly padded coat running down the fields, followed a few seconds later by a rapidly approaching 'Land-Shark', as the Police used the buildings for training
Or, a manic Spaniel darting about, with its nose to the ground

It was equally possible to spot a Public Order Unit, in/around the buildings on training sessions

Now they have a complete 'street'/complex up at the Carr Gate centre (adjacent to jct41/M1), where the Roads Policing, Helicopter, Dogs & Horses are all also based

Looking on Google Streetview looks like the house used to be a cafe called the "Toast Office", hence the stamp-like look of it.

It could be, traffic started moving again, so no more were taken
