Spa Lane, Bingley
Image: © John Davies Taken: 3 Apr 2017
From Park Road, Spa Lane rapidly becomes a track. A small stream runs parallel to the track before meeting a larger beck. The larger beck flows under the large stone slab in the centre. The flow continues alongside the path before dropping under the wall on the left. This beck is the principal contributor to New Mill Gill, which flows under the bottom of 5 Rise Locks. The drinking fountain on the right is labelled "spa" on the 1847-8 OS map. Presumably that is why the path is named Spa Lane. Nevertheless it seems a strange place to have a drinking fountain.
