Dist:0.1km north<br/>There's not much that can be picked to eat at the moment - the old runner beans on the left are too old. Some vegetables available at this time of year are Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbages, perpetual spinach, leeks and parsnips

Dist:0.1km north<br/>A large modern house which took several years to build.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>I've just taken over one of the allotments, and this elderly shed forms part of it. Picturesque and still usable despite the ivy growing inside and out.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>I've just taken over an allotment here - unfortunately not one of these neat and tidy ones, but one a little further along that is full of weeds. The houses in the background are at the north-west end of Jackman Drive.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>Further along the straight stretch it passes between Cragg Wood on the right, and old council houses on the left, which are on short spurs linking to Broadway (the Leeds Ring Road). At the end of this section, it bears sharp left to cross Broadway.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>Now we come to a straight stretch of about 300m, looking north-east in this picture.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Looking down from Wood Lane. Craggwood Close was built in the early 1970's. Before that, there was a coal distribution depot here. Lorries would deliver the coal at the top of the slope where I am standing, and tip it into chutes. At the bottom, it was bagged for local delivery.
