World War I memorial, St Peter's church, Bramley
The memorial is of white marble with alabaster surround, and was dedicated on 6th July 1921 by the Vicar, the Revd James Hinton Knowles. It bears the names of 162 men killed in the Great War. (Source: church history by Alan Dobson, 1964)
World War II memorial, St Peter's church, Bramley
The memorial is placed by way of an addendum to the WWI memorial SE2435 : World War I memorial, St Peter's church, Bramley and bears the names of 36 men killed in the 2nd World War. (Source: church history by Alan Dobson, 1964)
Railway bridge repainted for the climate crisis (2)
These five bridge panels were first painted in 2020 SE2535 : New artwork on Kirkstall railway bridge (1) by the local Bramley Tate group, but more recently relevant text has been added in advance of the COP26 conference in Glasgow (November 2021). The text on this second panel reads 'Love your neighbour as yourself'.
Technical note: submitted in monochrome because the photos were taken towards dusk with a strong colour cast. An idea of the actual colour scheme can be seen using the above link.
Bonfire on Raynville Road
All ready for a blaze with fireworks. The traditional guy is not so often seen these days.
Construction work at Bramley bus station
The project is to provide an additional two bus stops, although there are no plans at present to increase the number of routes or frequency of services.
New building going up on the site of Victoria Mills
This field north of Bramley station and east of Swinnow Road was formerly the site of Victoria woollen mills. The mills were demolished some time before 2002 but the site is only now being built on. The form of construction - precast concrete panel walls - suggests an industrial use.
Path junction in Bramley Park
The town park of Bramley in Leeds covers an area of about 14ha on the north-east slope of Beecroft Hill. Current sports facilities include cricket, football and rugby pitches, basketball court, tennis court and bowling green. There is a small enclosed flower garden and the park also hosts the town war memorial (2014). With eight access points around the perimeter, it is also well used as a walking route between different parts of town as well as by dog walkers and runners (including the weekly Park Run).
Main north-south path in Bramley Park
With the trees still bearing some of their autumn leaves.
Hedge in Bramley Park
The hedge along the south side of the rose garden, still bearing autumn leaves.
Cross in Bramley Park
I've photographed this before SE2435 : Bramley Park; Celtic cross but the sun on this occasion was at the right oblique angle to bring out details of the carving.
A local news website gives us the information that the cross was originally sited in Gotts Park where it marked the end of the eight year incumbency of the Reverend John Gott, son of millowner Benjamin Gott, as Vicar of St Peter’s Bramley from 1866-1873. It was later 'lost' until being rediscovered 'abandoned in a council depot' in recent years, moved to the entrance of Bramley Park and relocated within the park when the present war memorial replaced it.
Winter leaves, Outgang Lane
Despite two recent storms, these trees have clung on to some of their golden autumn leaves into December.
Woof Woof Washers, Warrels Road, Bramley
What was a hair salon for people five years ago SE2435 : Studio 47 Hair & Beauty Leeds, Warrel's Grove, Bramley, Leeds now has canine customers.
New bench in Bramley Park
Although it looks to have been covered in graffiti, this is apparently the intended design of the bench.
The Power House, Coal Hill Lane
This appears to be a small business centre, with tenants including a photographic studio and security company. The name is presumably taken from the nearby pylon.
Steps up from Horton Rise
The steps lead into woodland. The path is not where it is shown on OpenStreetMap.
Steps down from Horton Rise
The steps lead down to Westminster Drive, and are not shown on OpenStreetMap.
