A re-visit, on a dog-walk, this 'village' isn't too far away from where we live
(we did look, online, whilst there, at a cottage that's for sale up there - at a surprising price!!)

I expected it to be more!

Lee Moor WMC (as was)
Lee Moor Road
Lee Moor
Stanley

I went in here a couple of times as a kid, for functions
It still has a big concert room at the back, & the extension wasn’t part of it as a WMC

Seen here without the extension; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/892619

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

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Peter's_Church,_Stanley,_West_Yorkshire

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

Church Of St Peter
Stanley

No Church to illuminate!
(at the top of the steps in #1)

The Memorial is approximately where the main doors were, to the Church

The War Memorial, is to the other face of the clock; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6222169

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

The gates, at Lake Lock Road

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

Wednesday 2nd

Obelisk
Sheffield Road/A61
Birdwell
Barnsley

Essentially an ostentatious milestone!

Edit @ 11:55
Re; the post above this
I did see several items, but a mixture of traffic/having the trailer/available stopping places meant l had to miss them
Sorry

It's been so long since I drove along Aberford Road that the church was still standing then.
