The lower path, goes to the bank of the River Calder
Behind me goes towards Whitwood & towards Cutsyke
Straight ahead becomes the Castleford Greenway, on the old railway (originally built as the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway)

As part of a 'joint operation' this morning, with my wanting to visit Indespension, & daughter needing to visit the ‘Trinity Centre’, I dropped her off at EastGate, by the end of Lady Lane, & went off to park up for a while
I ended up opposite this building

Leeds Board School
Gower Lane
(off Regent Street)
The Leylands (that's the name of the area, on the 25" OS, of the early 1900s)

I wasn't sure where to put this link; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-64304300

It's the Black Swan, or it was (not sure if it's still trading?)

Taken, circa 2005

There were a couple of timber-framed buildings facing it, that were demolished in the 60's
Plus, another that survived into the 2000s further down WestGate, just above the Elephant & Castle pub
