Saxon Way
An estate of prefabricated houses built around 1970, overlooking Wheldale Colliery, which began going downhill within a decade when the sons of the miners started moving direct from school to the dole queue. Beset by the consequent social problems, by the late 1980s no-one wanted to live there and it was demolished in the early 1990s.

Bus turning circle, Pemberton Road, Airedale
Properly on the edge of everything, this turning circle does not even rate a bus stop, as I found to my surprise when the driver would not let me off here. Just beyond here, Pemberton Road is blocked, preventing through traffic.

New house next to the Taj Mahal
The estate agent's copy writes itself! The plot next to this suburban takeaway in Castleford appears blank in a 2016 Streetview image, and in fact the building appears to be a pair of shop units, not yet let, with flats over, rather than entirely residential. Planning application ref. 16_02709.

Park Hill
On a clear day this statuesque couple can see as far as Ilkley Moor and the Pennines beyond Huddersfield from their vantage point in the highest part of Queens Park.
