Church Of St Peter Gates
Stanley
Wakefield

As seem from Aberford Road/A642
It wasn't an old Church, being rebuilt just before WW1, but mining subsidence was its (quite literal) downfall
(mining, footwear & rhubarb/market gardening, were 3 of the big local employers

We were taking my mother shopping, so once more I walked part-way with the dog

The Church can be seen, it was probably already closed/decommisioned by then; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2935303

Church Of St Peter Cemetery
Stanley
Wakefield

Looking northwards, towards Lake Lock Road
The 3 buildings just beyond the hedge (on 'LLR') are associated with the long-established local funeral director, the steep white 'gable-end', being their Chapel of Rest
The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, on Mount Road, can be seen (large building), it's now in private hands, & being converted into a house/flats
(more photos/information)

This gravestone used to have a carved Anvil on top

St Peters Infant School
Stanley
Wakefield

It was the School, now home to a playgroup, there's a Sunday Service, & the groups that used the (demolished) Church meet here

Behind it runs one of the local 'wagon-ways', from collieries, to a loading staith on the (previous alignment of (what became) the Aire & Calder Navigation Canal (parts are stll in water, but as simply fishing ponds)
Now a public footpath, to cut a corner from Mount Road, to Aberford Road

There might be a few additions from around the Barnsley area tomorrow, as I have to take the trailer & help friends of ours to empty there 'self-storage' unit
I'll be passing through Barnsley itself, along the A61, to Worsborough
Passing what was a level-crossing, on the old 'Woodhead Line', a canal basin, & what used to be the home of a Planet X shop, plus passing the obelisk at Birdwell
