To the north of Leeds on routes from Lawnswood towards Otley are a dozen large stones with legends indicating churches, bridges, railways and other notable landmarks. Four of them are in this Grid Square. This one is at the NE corner of St Helen's Lane. Because of the large old chip off the top right corner the distances in miles and furlongs to three places have been lost. The story of these stones is in Tracks & Roads in a Yorkshire Parish by Don Cole.
