Former bridge supports on Leeds Road
There used to be a bridge here which carried the Pool Bank quarry tramway over the road. The support to the left of the photograph has been removed, probably to improve visibility at the junction with Old Pool Bank. The base of the support has survived and it is possible that a cut bench mark shown on old maps is under the earth bank with daffodils on it.

Stop sign at the bottom of Old Pool Bank
The 'stop' rather than 'give way' is because of the location at a blind bend on a busy main road. The stone structure across the main road is the remains of the abutment of a railway bridge that carried a tramway taking stone from Pool Bank Quarries to the Otley-Ilkley railway line. A full history of the quarries can be found at https://www.poolinwharfedalehistory.co.uk/6-pool-bank-quarries/ and gives the date of construction of the bridge as 1891 and its removal in 1941.
