Path over Brown Lane tunnel
Looking the opposite direction from the same spot as
Image it's hard to believe that an urban dual carriageway runs only a few metres beneath this oasis of calm. For once the transport planners got something right.

Urban poultry, Brown Lane West
It's not too unusual to see hens being kept even in an urban setting, but I was surprised to see turkeys as well, on this patch of derelict land in an industrial estate in Leeds.

A643 from Brown Lane bridge
Looking north from a bridge or more accurately the northern portal of the short tunnel on the A643 between the M621 and Leeds inner ring road. In the evening peak (as seen here) there is much more traffic heading south (out of the city centre) than north.

Matthew Murray Tunnel, A643
The south portal of the tunnel, which takes its name from the now demolished Matthew Murray School. The tunnel was built specifically to shield the school from the intrusion and noise of the Ingram Road Distributor, A643, which feeds traffic from the M621 Motorway into the city centre of Leeds.
