Dist:0.5km north<br/>This is where a bridleway enters Baildon Moor. To the left of the gate there was an ancient pottery. The two horses are in conversation with another in the lane.

Dist:0.7km east<br/>This was the winter when it snowed on and off from 1st January to 22nd February, with some hard frosts and only slow thaws in between (this is from my cycling diary). This view shows Green Lane snaking through Lane End and past Sandals Primary School, with Baildon Bank on the right.

Dist:0.8km north<br/>That is what we called it when I was a boy. I had hoped to carve roads in it for toy cars, but it was far too hard and rough! It is technically called scoriae, and is waste from iron smelting. It has been dated to the medieval period by pieces of pottery found in it during an archaeological excavation in the late 19C, but unfortunately there is no documentary record of the industry.

Dist:0.8km north<br/>Over the centuries a thin layer of soil has been created, supporting mosses and other plants.

Dist:0.8km east<br/>This is looking eastwards, in the opposite direction to the Lane End snow scene. Browgate can be seen on the right. Notice the old type of 'give way ahead' road sign.
