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

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".
