Dist:1.0km west<br/>Lawnswood Graveyard & Crematorium is situated on Otley Road, Leeds and is in the south-eastern section of this "square". The grounds are somewhat dishevelled and there is damage to many of the memorial plaques on the footpath edges. There is a small tearoom near the entrance to the crematorium, which is also the site for a number of waste containers. The tower in the centre of the photograph is, in fact, the crematorium chimney.

Dist:1.0km east<br/>Two of the seven arches of this Victorian aqueduct which carried water from Eccup Reservoir to the treatment works at Far Headingley over the beck near Adel. The Meanwood Valley Trail passes this and many other interesting natural and man-made sites.

Dist:1.0km west<br/>The church can be seen easily from Otley Old Road, this is the opposite side, looking south-west from Raynel Drive

Dist:1.0km north<br/>This is one of the oldest churches in the Leeds area, dating back to Norman times (11th-12th century). Unusually for such an old church, it was not developed, enlarged or extended in Victorian times.
