Elder Lea House
Elder Lea was built in 1885 by Albert Smith, a local millowner who had earlier built Lands House for himself (now a nursing home). Becoming the Mayor's House, it passed into the ownership of the Collins family in 1985. Run by the same family, Elder Lea House is the only 5 Star and Gold Award guest house in West Yorkshire, offering high quality affordable accommodation.

Council houses alongside Clough Lane, Rastrick
These are probably privately owned now, but were built as part of the Fletcher Crescent estate in the mid-20C. I had not noticed before that there are two types of house, one with plain rendered walls and one with projecting gables faced with stone. The houses were set back from the main road and given a service road. I wish all ribbon development was like this.

New Hey Road, Rastrick
This road was constructed around 1806, and was lined by ribbon development during the 19C. There were gaps between the terraces of houses, and in the one shown here there is a laburnum tree in flower. Below it is the track that leads to Badger Hill Cricket Ground.

Regent Close and telephone pole, New North Road, Rastrick
Not a very good view of this little council housing estate, but the telephone pole has a remarkable number of wires radiating from it.

Entrance to cricket ground, New Hey Road, Rastrick
There is quite a large area of 'waste' ground' here, which must be valuable as a potential building site. Notice the skeleton of a seat.

New Hey Road, Rastrick
Just above the 'waste' land near the entrance to the Badger Hill cricket ground. There is a through passage big enough for a cart, which led to a building at the rear. The house above the opening belonged to the Woods who had a haulage business. By the 1950s they were running motor taxis and lorries, which were stored in the yard through the passage in what was probably the stables for their horses and storage for wagons in their earlier history. The Woods Rolls Royce taxis were often used to transport the New Road Sunday School cricket team to away matches.
