Paper Pulp Mountain near Wetherby Paper pulp is an environmentally friendly soil conditioner. This mound is waiting to be spread on local fields once the harvest has been gathered. The pulp is a waste product from the paper making industry and would have been disposed of in a landfill site.

Golf Course, Linton Ings I had hoped to be able to capture the old railway running through this square but couldn't see anywhere immediately obvious where I could gain access, and I had to be elsewhere, so I had to make do with this shot of the golf course instead. Facing east, the old railway is somewhere in the trees beyond, and further on flows the River Wharfe before it passes through Wetherby town centre.
