Woodhouse Ridge is a lovely oasis of tranquillity, which turns blue once a year.

Headingley Hall is a residential care home and apartments for older people. Its history may go back 1000 years - the blue plaque on the wall at the right says “The medieval manor house of Headingley almost certainly stood here. The Hall was rebuilt in the 17th Century and 1831-6. Residents included John Killingbeck, Mayor of Leeds 1677, George Hayward, Land Agent of the Earl of Cardigan, and his son George J.W. Hayward, born here 1839, intrepid explorer in Central Asia.”

This pair of photos shows the queue at the door of The Original Oak in Headingley, at 11 am on 10th June 2006, the day of England's first match in the 2006 World Cup. The match was due to kick off at 2pm. The queue stretched north along Otley Road, then turned into Shire Oak Road, and I estimated it at over 150 metres long. Three-quarters of an hour later the queue was just as long, and the pub garden had many people in it. Apologies for the picture quality from my low-res camera phone, I didn't take my camera shopping!

This small college is run by a charitable trust, and I have been told that part of the building dates from the late 1600s, and was probably originally a farmhouse (not visible in this photo). The main entrance is from Shire Oak Road.
