Stone house on East Stanley Estate
This house looks a bit out of place on this 1960's housing estate, but was here first. A plaque on the front wall states that it was built by William Bell in 1954-55, on what would have been an open site. Billy Bell was a well known local scrap man made good. The name Stanley Hall is taken from an old manor house which stood very near this spot from medieval times until the 1930's when it was demolished.

Footpath at Arnold Close, East Stanley
The path here long predates the modern housing estate. It is shown on 19th century maps leading to the old farm of Stanley Hall, which used to be a manor house in the middle ages. It was demolished in the 1930's.

Looking west along Humber Hill road
This road in East Stanley joins Durham Road further on. The position here, on the side of the hill on which Stanley is built, gives good views of the surrounding countryside. The village of Quaking Houses can be made out in the distance.
