There was a chap there cutting the grass (presumably 'a friend of....'?)
He told me that work was due to commence soon to clear the rear of the site, repoint the stonework, & rebuild a wall that can't be seen from the road

Junction of Bolton Brow (A58, to left) & Wakefield Road

I'm not sure if it is, but it had the appearance of a toll-house, viewing all approaches (#2 helps my thoughts)

This is the replacement footbridge
