Distance
1
Old path off Lord's Lane, Rastrick
This used to branch off from Birds Royd Lane, before the railway was constructed and Lord's Lane was made. It led to some fields and a wood. Later it was the access to Fieldhead, the white house at the top, but presumably it has an alternative access now. It is a public footpath to Stratton Road.

Concrete structure at the top of Dick Bank, Rastrick
I have been informed that this is a water tower built solely to fill the steam engines using a gravity feed system. There used to be two large iron pipes that led from the underside of the structure down the bank to the edge of the railway lines where it connected to a water crane.

Secondary woodland in Yew Close, Rastrick
To the left (south-east) of the path shown in Image there was, in 1824, a field called Yew Close. By 1907 the eastern part of the field had been acquired by the railway company, who cut back the hillside to form the present steep bank, so that they could construct sidings. This view is of the southern part of the former field, next to the rear of the Stratton Road development.

Yew Close, Rastrick
This central part of what is left of the field is grassland with brambles and rose-bay willowherb. There is a hairpin-shaped path, probably popular with people walking dogs.

Orchard in Yew Close, Rastrick
The lower part of what is left of the field called Yew Close became a small-holding at some time; it was divided from the rest of the field by a dry-stone retaining wall. It seems derelict at present, but perhaps someone will pick the apples.
