Featured previously in the past couple of pages, but today was the open day
Kings Road Lock
Aire & Calder Navigation Canal
(bottom of) Foxholes Lane
Altofts
Wakefield

Presumably, by the brickwork/railings, it was for a long time, just a sloping sided channel, to the stonework

It would have been nice to see (& I'll admit I didn't look) something made/featured of the stopped/filled in Foxholes Lock, that dropped into the River Calder, a couple of hundred yards north-east of KIngs Road

Foxholes;

I always wondered why they didn’t go for someone born in Castleford like Henry Moore?

I've always understood that he moved away, as soon as he could
Curiously though, there was a 'piece' (an amorphous/twisted mass, to me) outside the Civic Centre, on FerryBridge Road, for a lot of years, it's probably still there
(unless it got moved to the concrete blockhouse, of 'The Hepworth, where Tootal Street Mills, & the monument/gravestone masons stood)

That's still closer than 'never lived there'. There are probably plenty of home-grown rugby stars they could have gone for too.

I don't mind the blockhouse, and my favourite formative piece of modern art was the Barbara Hepworth family group that stood on a roundabout near Wakefield City Hall until it was moved to the YSP in the early 2000s.

Remember that very well

That’s the one! The ‘head of the central figure always reminds me of a half sucked spangle.

Monday 2nd
We were out today too, but my apologies, there weren't many photographs taken (due to a few factors)

The approximate route was; Oulton > Woodlesford > Swillington > Garforth > HookMoor > Aberford . 'Bramham Cross-Roads' > Bramham > Clifford > Boston Spa > Wetherby > Linton > Collingham > Bardsey > 'Pompacali' (I set off to walk down to it, but it was too muddy for the boots I had on, too worn a soles) > Thorner > the new 'Leeds Outer Ring-Road' > Halton > Bullerthorpe Lane > Woodlesford > Oulton > Stanley > home

NB; I'm on a mixture of days-off, & annual-leave now, not returning to work until Wednesday 11th, so there may be chance for a few additions??
