Newlands Lodge
Goosehill Lane
Warmfield
(Normanton)
Wakefield

The only remaining gate-house, of 4, (I know where the others stood*) into the NewLands Estate

Looking past the garage, & the 2 bridges are over the railway
The farthest line is between Wakefield KirkGate & Normanton
The closest is the abandoned/closed ‘Goosehill Junction’

* Park Lodge, Stanley Lodge, Old Lodge (NewLands Lodge superceded it)

EDIT; Friday 15th @ 06:47
I also know this NewLands Lodge, just south of Belford, on an 'abandoned' section of The Great North Road, created when the village was bypassed

Blue Bricks
Dalefield Road
Normanton
Wakefield

They're on the 'back alley' to the left; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1406446
There is a street gutter, not too far away that also has the same bricks utilised; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1414375

Plus, in Otley (north-west of Leeds), there's a street that has terraced houses built from them!; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1207284

Altofts Hall (as was) wall
Altofts Hall Road (joins onto Station Road)
Normanton
Wakefield

Due to its location, this will be as much due to the locomotive shed/vast colliery sidings, as much as weather erosion

As seen to the right; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1405344

The turntable pit, to the Halls east is apparantly still there, it's filled in/overgrown, but visible; https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16.0&lat=53.70342&lon=-1.42576&layers=168&b=1

Saturday 16th

(circa 22:15)
Rowan House
Pinderfields General Hospital
Wakefield

Built as a Ward, for ‘Stanley Royd’, the old mental asylum that was here
Some buildings remain, but are mainly converted into flats/apartments
(Pinderfields retains a couple)

After closure of Stanley Royd, it was the HQ building for PGH…. until a PFI build opened in 2010
Now it’s primarily Consultants office, (some) finance, various specialist Nursing groups, (possibly?) IT

I’d just left the main entrance

In two days time this thread celebrates its 7th Birthday.

I'm truly humbled by the effort you chaps and chapesses, and Accy, have put into getting out there and exploring in order to get your prized photo up on this thread.

Higher Shelf Stones trig point on yesterday's walk to the B29 crash site.

And a phoney (?) Trig Point by Derwent Water, yesterday. No plaque or top cap, in fact totally devoid of any markings!

Walked up to Painswick Beacon in Gloucestershire yesterday.
Great views from the top, a good walk if you're in the area.
