The Galpharm Stadium

The approach from the south west end. I understand that the stadium was going to be renamed a couple of years ago because Galpharm were taken over, but nothing appears to have happened since.

Before the match in the Galpharm Stadium

The first match of the new season. Huddersfield Town FC are the League One title favourites, but were disappointed by a draw in this match.

Lower Fell Greave

Public footpath through Lower Fell Greave on a sunny summer morning. There has been a wood here since at least the twelfth century when it was part of the Fountains Abbey estate.
