Lower down, the road is called Outgang Lane, but this end nearest the town centre is simply Out Gang. The name, like the road, is an ancient one, from when Bramley was no more than a hilltop village, and perhaps referring to the road "going out" of the village. As late as 1895, the Ordnance Survey map shows only one building between here and Kirkstall Brewery three-quarters of a mile away. The road is now cut off to through motor traffic at the top end, giving access only to a modern residential development. This is a view down the hill: see Image for a view looking downhill from the same spot.
