Seen from behind whilst displaying, the tail is a strong bony structure. This peacock's tail is so big that it has difficulty turning round in its cage.

Peacocks are often seen 'free range' but this one is in a wire-netting cage.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This is a section of a path from Longwood Edge to Leys Farm. The way that this path cuts straight across Gilead Road and Lamb Hall Road suggests to me that it is very old.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A short steep path, evidently of some importance as steps have been provided.

Dist:0.3km<br/>When the Salendine Nook Schools were built, Huddersfield Corporation was only operating trolleybuses, so a special terminus area for trolleybuses was built as part of the development. This was the only such provision in the British Isles. It was only used for a small number of journeys specifically for pupils at the Schools. The scene is little changed today; fashions have changed and the trees have grown, but the buildings are still there.
