Church Of All-Saints
High Street

Cherry Blossom

That was the ‘Keepers’ house behind

Monday 6th

The Robin Hood
'Ship Corner' (after another pub that stood nearby, the building is now a private house)
Birkwood Road
Altofts
Wakefield

Note, that the Robin, as well as wearing a quiver of arrows, is standing on a Bow

Seen here, with a more traditional sign, with him in the usual 'Lincoln Green'; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1405439

The stone house on the right was The Ship; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1405432

Monday 13th

The Old Toll House*
Town Street
Carlton
Rothwell
(south-east of Leeds)

I can remember there being an old stables at the side of this
Old maps on the 'NLS' site show a 'Ropewalk' behind it
(probably where 'Greenfield Produce' is now, along Cemetary Road?)

*I can't find it marked as such, on the maps of the 'NLS' site

It’s almost opposite Pit Field Road; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1561385

Tuesday 21st

Assembly Street
(as seen from Queen Street car-park)
Normanton
Wakefield

Even though I've walked over there untold times, I'd never noticed the roofline of the building to the right, before today

Ie; 3 stories at the rear, 2 at the street-side

Assembly Street, from the north-eastern end; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1415238

Two from my morning stroll around Millbrook first one on the wall outside the old school and the other on the church

Both found using the interactive OS page

A couple from yesterday..

A worn BM on a gatepost to Stand Wood on the Chatsworth Estate during the morning hike.

Carved into a wall in Rowsley.. 10 feet from what I know not! 🤷‍♂️

Monday 27th

Hatfeild Hall (correct spelling)
Stanley
Wakefield

Now the grounds are owned/used by Normanton Golf Club (who sold their own venue for housing about 30-35 years ago)

It has been an asylum (an ‘annex’ to Stanley Royd) & in the 70s, the HQ of Wakefield Health Authority)

I can remember it being derelict twice, after fires

See the last paragraph of 'Sports', for the 'Mulberry Bush'; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley,_West_Yorkshire
(Stanley Royd also lays claim)

The 'Folly' can't be reached now, but I've seen it described as a chapel, a coach-house, a stables; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3231359

Lutterworth town centre, on a quick walk while I was at work.
One other, nearby, wasn't found.. Possibly rendered over ☹️

Thursday 8th
1.

One of the remnants of the Midland Railway branch to the Dom Pedro Colliery (which stood, approximately, where Normanton Industrial Estate is, by jct31/M62)
It's adjacent to the Normanton Bypass/A655, close to Havertop (the main Wakefield Police Station
I pass under it sometimes, whilst dog walking, but it's generally in late spring/summer, as it can be a nuddy mess

Looking towards the bypass
(the corresponding embankments still exist, barring the removed section for the bypass)

Woodhouse Junior School (as was)
Wakefield Road
