Dist:0.4km north<br/>A quick glance is likely to be insufficient to notice that the word Oddfellows has been spelt with a triple-D. Presumably this is deliberate since both the hanging sign and the wall sign bear this apparent mistake.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Originally the railway was the Hull and Barnsley Line. It is now used to deliver coal to Drax Power Station. The house is now privately owned. The Hull and Barnsley railway was built to take coal from South Yorkshire to Hull Docks, the fastest and most direct route. And the engine drivers were better paid than drivers on other companies

Dist:0.9km west<br/>The Railway is the old Hull and Barnsley line. It was built to take coal from the south Yorkshire coal fields to Hull Docks, it was the shortest and fastest route. The engine drivers were better paid than the other railway companies. It is now the line feeding Drax Power Station with coal for the boilers and limestone for the desulphurisation plant and taking gypsum residue to British Gypsum to make plaster boards. The barrier at Hanger lane is manually operated by hydraulic pump by the public, there is an instruction board on how to operate it. There is also a board with the name Jacky Diffy painted on it, this may be the name of the crossing. The other side is an unmade road by the name of Bull Alley Lane.
