Gas works on Outgang - detail

Outgang, as the name suggests, is one of the oldest routes in this part of Leeds, originally linking Kirkstall Abbey with the chapel of ease in Bramley. This neatly cut utility trench gave the opportunity to view the layers of old road construction. For context see SE2435 : Gas works on Outgang.

Defibrillator, Lilac Grove

The defibrillator is on one of the houses in Lilac Grove on Victoria Park Avenue. I presume it's intended for public use when needed.

Road closed at Wyther Lane bridge

Crash deck, Wyther Lane bridge

Nearly five months after the collision that damaged the bridge parapets SE2535 : Damage to Wyther Lane bridge, work had begin on the repair. It was due to last three weeks, but one week into that period only this crash deck had been installed below the bridge to stop debris falling into the canal or onto the towpath. SE2535 : Wyther Lane canal bridge shows the bridge with parapet intact, some years earlier.

Bench by the canal

The canal is actually just off to the right of the photo, and the bench which is adjacent to a path through woodland on the canal bank affords a view of it. This is not the official towpath, which is on the opposite bank.

Gotts Park golf course

There was no-one playing, despite this being a sunny summer evening.

Wyther Parade

A row of shops on the north side of Stanningley Road, occupying an eclectic set of buildings, so clearly not planned as a shopping parade. As of 2021 it comprises Cuccina (takeaway), UB Studio (hairdresser, formerly EGAS SE2534 : Everall Gas Appliance Spares - Stanningley Road), Stanningley Wines (convenience store), We Are Vapes (formerly Daniels Cafe SE2534 : Daniels Cafe & Take Away - Stanningley Road), Pure Raw Feeds, Burgerama, FibreMold, Mother India (another takeaway) and Menz (sic) Hair Studio.

Trevor's memorial box

A recent work by the Bramley Tate group, maybe commissioned specially for the family of someone called Trevor in whose loving memory it is dedicated. This is on the corner of Trescoe Avenue.

August dandelions

August seems rather late in the year for this fine display of dandelions, usually thought of as a spring flower. But the plantlife.org.uk website says they can flower as late as October. For a wider view of the houses behind, see SE2533 : Staggered terrace houses, Henconner Lane, Bramley.

Henconner Lane shops (3)

Not counting the Leeds Bacon Company at left, as of 2021 the other shops comprise Jackson's Stores (formerly Premier), Curry Corner (formerly Lighthouse fish and chips SE2533 : Henconner Lane shops (2)), and in the second block Canton Takeaway, TLC hair design, Local Barber (formerly Xerxes), Ewe Move (estate agent - formerly Antique garden SE2533 : Henconner Lane shops), Pizza Corner and one other (not legible).

Brick effect box, Landseer Road

A recent addition to the Bramley Tate outdoor gallery.

Sold: one garage

The householder on Waterloo Lane is having an extension built, and there was a sign on the fence saying "Garage for sale". Obviously they found a buyer, as only the garage door and concrete floor slab panels remained, stacked against the side fence. To the left is a path cutting through to Wellington Gardens SE2435 : Footpath from Waterloo Lane to Wellington Gardens.

Tutti Frutti

A recent addition, I think, to the painted boxes in this area. I've included it in the shared description for Bramley Tate but this one is credited to "Leeds West Rocks" which may be a different group of people. The artwork is to encourage healthy eating.

Stephen Craven

Rainbow box

A recent addition, I think, to the painted boxes in this area by Bramley Tate. This one is on the corner of Ganners Hill and Wellington Grove.

Box with coloured hearts

A recent addition, I think, to the painted boxes in this area by Bramley Tate. This one is on the corner of Ganners Hill and Ganners Road.

Entrance to Bramley Fall woods

This entrance is off Leeds and Bradford Road, just east of the football pitches.

Steps out of Bramley Fall woods

There was a deep contrast between the sunlit playing fields to the left, and the shade of the woods. The steps are also seen in SE2436 : Steps - Bramley Fall Park.
