The hot dry summer of 2018 meant that blackberries were already ripening by the end of July.

Saddleworth Road and Long Wall, Elland
Long Wall to the right was the B6114 and leads to Elland town centre, although this is perversely signposted via Saddleworth Road, which is narrow and has an awkward junction with Briggate at Elland Bridge. Saddleworth Road was the A6025, but is now the B6114. The signs are in the modern style, with chevrons, so 'A6025' should be in brackets as it is not reached until after crossing Elland Bridge. I have noticed elsewhere that recent signposts sometimes ignore B road numbers.

Post Office, Saddleworth Road, Greetland
The postbox does not carry a royal cypher. To the right of it are two disused stamp vending machines. For many years these were in use outside most post offices, selling booklets for gradually increasing sums (I started at 1/-, and they went out of use at £1). There are still some modern machines that sell any number of 2nd or 1st class stamps from coils, and will give change.

Junction of Workhouse Lane and Nab End Lane
Workhouse Lane is the lane going up to the right. It is an adopted highway and leads to a terrace of houses but existed before they were built. There was a workhouse in this area for a while in the early 19C. It was closed and the people moved to the Union workhouse in Halifax. The only building shown on the 1850 OS map is at Wood Side. Nab End Lane is an old route between Elland and Greetland, and is shown on the 1850 map. It is an unadopted lane and Elland FP32.
