Junction of Ferry Lane and Nellie Spindler Drive
The road to the right was unexpected: it doesn't show on my 2013 Explorer map that only shows a minor road (Balk Lane). It links to the Wakefield Eastern Relief Road that has opened in the last few years. It is named after a local nurse killed in World War One, "the only woman buried with full military honours at Passchendaele".

Drainage holding pond alongside Nellie Spindler Drive
I presume this is to hold excess water from the drainage of the new road and the housing being built along its length. In the 2020 spring drought it was completely dry.

Rhubarb field
See Image
The flower stalks have been cut back, but the crop appears to be dying off due to the lack of rain.

Rhubarb in flower
Rhubarb can bolt, (the term for flowering when not required), as a response to dry, hot weather, and we’ve just had the driest two months on record.
If left, the flower will weaken the root, which will then produce weak thin stalks.

Balk Lane, Stanley Ferry
A field to the east and scrub on the west. This was once a street of houses (on the west side) as the lilac (just visible) suggests.

Yorkshire Water building, Ferry Lane, Stanley
Old maps show that Wakefield Corporation had a reservoir adjacent to the road, probably storing water from the Calder; this building may be a relic of that installation, as suggested by a local contributor Image
