And, just a few dozen yards north of this, the old name remains
The old kerbstone are there too, that marked the edge of the 'GNR', as it turned slightly north-west into Brotherton, but absorbed into the pavement now
They're where the signs are to the left of the road

The red neon sign of the Fox (now an Indian restaurant) in the background of your last picture used to be the sign that we were nearly home after trips up north when we were children.

There are a couple of sets of stone mounting steps in that area too. They're an entertaining hazard when out running in the dark.^_^
