And, a bit further back towards Castleford, on the Barnsdale Road (A656), just south of Ledston Luck Business Park..

This isn't on Geograph, or https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/england/leeds/

I've seen it before, but thought it was more modern, hence I've never stopped
Until today...

There is an inscription on the back, but it was too awkward to get to

It is here, with Ledston Luck to the right, & the roundabout with the A63 about 500yards further on

Seen here, just catching the Sun, on the extreme left of frame, looking south - toward 'Mary Pannell', Allerton Bywater & Castleford

The pit has long-gone, but the winding houses are still there (that pictures 11 year old, but they were still there last week!)

Taken after ride over to the ParkRun, that's held there
(went to see if I still knew anyone running/marshalling)

My wife used to have her company office in the 'Home Farm Lodge', one of the others; the Tithe Barn (circa 1400) can be seen through the gateway

The Priory holds a large collection of Chippendale furniture & a (John) Harrison clock, who was born less than a mile from here

I missed a couple of others, as I was late arriving, & getting to them would have meant my 'mixing it' with the runners
So, another visit is in order

I'm not sure if it'll be this coming Saturday (weekend off!), as I may go to the Pontefract ParkRun instead, to try & catch some friends there
(held at the Park, also the location of the -horse- Race Course)
 
Next Friday (20th) I have to head up the A1, to either Newcastle, or possibly as far as Seahouses
Dependant on whether we can meet partway, or I have to drive right up

Hopefully, I'll be on the old 'Great North Road' for part of the route, so will be keeping my eyes open

That said... I've not been given any specific times yet, it could be post 15:00, so too dark by the time I get up there?
