Mr Parnaby must be the man depicted on the pub sign, but I don't know who he was. There are several streets called Parnaby nearby. The pub is on the east side of Middleton Road, opposite the junction of Woodhouse Hill Road, and just to the north of the bridge that crosses the M621.

Looking east towards Junction 7. This section of the M621 was originally part of the M1, but was renamed when the new section of the M1 was built to connect the M1 to the A1. Looking at the 1940's map on Vision of Britain, it looks like this section of road was built on a former railway line.

Looking west along the motorway, the traffic approaching the camera is coming from the City Centre. Getting busy at about 4 o'clock on a Thursday afternoon.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>This is a small square of houses near the cemetery on the east side of Middleton Road. A large plaque on the gable end of the north group states "Erected and endowed by John Scott Esq. A.D. 1896" and a similar plaque on the south gable "Trustees Samuel Scott Stanley, Joseph Gale, George Mellen, Revd Canon Thompson, Robert E Emsley. John E Leak Architect". Leeds City Council's "Listed Building Gazeteer", shows that they are Grade 2 listed buildings. The bust in the centre is of John Scott and is also Grade 2 listed.
