Residential blocks
Recently constructed residential apartment blocks have been designed to blend in sympathetically with the older building (seen in the background). This development is on the site of the former West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum, which later became Stanley Royd hospital and is adjacent to Pinderfields Hospital.

Early morning sun, Parklands, Wakefield
A recent decision to mow only parallel strips on this slope has increased local people's enjoyment of it. Formerly this was part of the grounds of the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum.

Green Mount Villa 1877
I love a good tower or turret and the position of this one, at the top of Long Causeway, must give a superb view over Wakefield. There is some pretty odd architecture there too, from the Greek temple style entrance, through the diagonal brickwork, the brick guttering supports with no guttering, and the seemingly pointless metal brackets hanging off the side - over a public space. And there is some interesting metal ornamentation right on the top that does not seem to be the expected weather vane.
As a special bonus there is also a UFO.

The clock tower and the larger block of flats were originally part of the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum [later Stanley Royd Hospital, now Parklands]. The small block of flats was built as part of the Parklands development and the larger red brick building is part of the PFI Pinderfields Hospital.

Long Causeway was the 'coffin way' from Stanley to Wakefield, before Stanley got its own church and burial ground.
