Orchard Way, Guiseley

This seems to be a (social?) housing development on the site and in the grounds of the former Methodist church; the replacement church SE1942 : Methodist Church, Oxford Road, Guiseley is on a slightly different footprint.

Frank Parkinson Homes, Guiseley

A set of almshouses, built in the late 20th century but in a traditional courtyard style. They are named after Frank Parkinson (1887-1946), an electrical engineer and philanthropist who was a major benefactor of the University of Leeds and founded what became Crompton Parkinson, a major employer in Guiseley until recent times. He left a bequest for these almshouses which are now managed by the Anchor Housing Association.
