Older buildings at the end of Norwood Avenue
These houses were probably associated with the adjacent Home Farm rather than the nearby High Royds hospital - although the two were connected, patients from the hospital providing labour for the farm.

New houses on Norwood Avenue
Most of this new housing estate occupies the former High Royds asylum site, but the houses on the north side of Norwood Avenue appear to be a greenfield development. These two houses, one of them still for sale, are among the larger properties.

Home Farm, Menston
These buildings appear to have been converted to private housing rather than being a working farm. The reason for its abandonment may be connected with the former High Royds mental hospital nearby, as explained in the following text found online (source - http://www.highroydshospital.com/insight/farming-the-land-g-w-bitton/ ): "The site of High Royds in the rich Yorkshire countryside of Lower Wharfedale, and the importance given from the very earliest days to the concept of a self-sufficient community, meant that farming and the needs of the land were a central feature of life in the institution. In total there were four separate farms – Thorpe, Norcroft, Odda and Home Farm – with over 600 acres of land. Local men were employed to do much of the farm labour, and were paid an extra supplement for working alongside the patients. Tasks undertaken by patients were usually fetching and carrying churns of milk and sacks of grain, as well as helping to look after the animals. ... The pigs and milk were at Holme Farm [sic], rearing stock at Norcroft, older stock at Odda and dried off cows at Thorpe until they came into milk again."

Path behind Norwood Avenue
Most of this new housing estate occupies the former High Royds asylum site, but the houses on the north side of Norwood Avenue, including this pedestrian route behind the houses, appear to be a greenfield development. At least the oak tree has been spared.

Path alongside woodland near High Royds
The path is a recent one, being a perimeter path of the new Chevin Park estate. The woodland, 7 hectares in extent, is an old one - shown on maps of the early 20th century, but with no apparent name. Locals must have a name for it.
