Tong Street A650
Image: © David Spencer Taken: 8 Aug 2005
The main road from Wakefield to Bradford and beyond. As the name implies, Tong Street lies on the course of a Roman road (though the course beyond here through Bradford is unknown). The truncated terraces and grassed area on the right reflects early seventies demolition for a road upgrade which never took place, hence the subsequent tree planting and atrocious congestion.
