Moor Lane The track runs for about 2 miles connecting two ancient routes: the Great North Road and the old Roman road of Rudgate. It is therefore likely that this is itself an ancient thoroughfare, now classed as a public bridleway.

Bridleway signpost This wooden post at a junction of two bridleways is marked (left) to "A1 0.7km". Signs in kilometres are still rare in England: Bradford Council erected them widely in the 1980s, but I guess this dates from the 1970s. The old Great North Road in this vicinity had already been bypassed in the 1960s by the A1, which later became the A168 when it was in turn replaced by the A1(M)
