Barwick in Elmet, 22 The Boyle

The benchmark is cut into the 3rd course of stone on the front face of the property, and to the right of the front door.

There is a benchmark cut into the 3rd course of stone on the front face of the property, and to the right of the front door.

Barwick in Elmet, Low Laithe Farm

Now just a ruin. The datum line and part of a benchmark arrowhead can just be seen on a long horizontal stone in the picture. It is unlikely that this mark will remain intact for much longer.

The Old Red Lion, Seacroft

From the 843 Coastliner bus. By the A64 York Road. It is many years since I last went in this pub, probably in the 1990's when I worked nearby. It has been closed for a couple of years I believe, maybe more.

The new East Leeds Orbital Road at Whinmoor

When the East Leeds Orbital Road is completed there will be a large roundabout here, forming its intersection with the A64 between Leeds and York. For the time being the A64 winds its way around the roundabout but the new road is not yet open.

The new road has been under construction for over a year, and seems almost ready to be opened here.

Leeds Road west of the ELOR

The cycle path crosses the existing road by means of a toucan crossing about a hundred metres west of the roundabout on the orbital route.

Leeds Road roundabout on the ELOR

Known locally by its acronym ELOR, this dual carriageway road connects the M1 at Junction 46 (Swillington Common) with the existing Leeds Ring Road (A6120) at Shadwell. A short section at the M1 end opened in 2019 to serve Thorpe Park (business and retail park); the remainder of the 8km route opened to traffic in August 2022 and has taken the A6120 designation from the existing ring road east of Leeds, which has become the B6902. A hard-surfaced pedestrian and cycle path follows it on the west side, and a stone surfaced 'leisure path' for mountain bikers and horse riders on the east; these are set well back from the main road except at roundabouts, where toucan crossings are provided. It is intended that infill development of over 20,000 homes will follow in coming decades to the west of ELOR.
