The Crimea Tavern
Saville Road
Castleford
West Yorkshire

Once, one of the many thriving pubs in the town
Apparently, it had thriving music nights
it backs onto the River Aire

Possibly squatters are in there??

Benchmark
Altofts Road
Normanton
Wakefield

I pass this every working day, unless it’s dry enough/light enough to consider NewLands Woods
I’ve never even thought about it before, for this thread, despite seeing it countless times

It’s to the right, of the red-signed mail-bar

(Dog walking in the afternoon)

NewLands Hall Stable-Block
NewLands Woods
(between ‘Stanley Ferry’ & Normanton)
Wakefield

Some of the stone-setts in the stable yard, are still there, under the mud (looking back towards the site of Park Lodge, & NewLands Lane)

Some of the fencing too

The stables are to my right

The Hall was demolished in the 1920s, but the stables were lived, into the (I understand) 1970s
I've seen this photograph in a local history book before, but (until now) never seen it online


This is possibly circa 1900-1910?

Whilst out dog-walking

St Johns Colliery Bricks
NewLands Estate
Altofts
Wakefield

I'd passed the site of the brickworks en-route, & this location is less than a mile away in a straight-line'
The family owning the NewLands Estate, also had part-ownership of the Colliery (in the late 1800s/early 1900s)

https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17.3&lat=53.69527&lon=-1.43327&layers=168&b=1
They're probably somewhere near the 'N' of 'Normanton', on the OS map below the photograph; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2762301
The old chimney is still there, supporting telephone equipment; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3675566

’Nissen Hut’
Watson Street

For quite a lot of years, this was a store for the long established DIY shop to the left
Since the closure of it, due to the owners ill-health, it’s been a lingerie shop, & now a hairdressers

As the DIY shop; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/374488

Look at the (1937 - 1961) 1/25,000, the 'tramway' has gone

The 'cap' is approximately between the 'dash-marks' for a service road, & NewLands Lane
