The Avenue, Harewood

With the junction with the A61 in the foreground. The Avenue is the A659. The sunlit buildings are almost entirely in Image, so I nearly put the image in that square. The gable end left of centre belongs to what was formerly the house of the manager of the Harewood Estate http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1226651&searchtype=mapsearch . The lower building in the centre was formerly a "ribbon factory, now 4 cottages" http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1265739&searchtype=mapsearch . On the right is a "former doctor's surgery" http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1226843&searchtype=mapsearch . The buildings are all grade II* listed and form part of John Carr's original model village for Edwin Lascelles, 1st Lord Harewood, in the mid-C18.
