$Dist:1.0km east<br/>Between Pontefract and Castleford, just at the edge of where the M62 / A1 junction / roundabout are being changed into Spaghetti Junction of the North, with the A1(M) passing west of the Ferrybridge powerstation instead of east of it, has it has for generations.$

Dist:1.0km west<br/>Aerial shot - no other way to capture the absolute beauty of this building - its form, surrounding roads and even the way the car park markings add a look of "fish bones" to the Moby Dick shape of the huge structure housing an indoor, real-snow ski-slope and a dozen other activites. Total magnet for teenagers and anyone with disposable income really.
