This is the southbound busway in the middle of Scott Hall Road by the Potternewton Lane roundabout. Leeds has been a pioneer of guided busways, this one has been in operation since 1995. The buses which use them have small horizontally mounted guide wheels just ahead of the front wheels. The guide wheels run along the kerbs of the busway, effectively steering in a channel only slightly wider than the bus. Other traffic can't use the busway. As a bus approaches the end of the busway (in this case just behind the camera) the traffic lights change in its favour to allow it to 'leapfrog' the other traffic. With the cancellation of the Leeds Supertram project, Leeds is likely to get more busways like this.

The roundabout at junction of Scott Hall Road and Potternewton Lane. Rutland Lodge Medical Centre is the main building, with Scott Hall Sports Centre to the left.

The conical building is presumably a former windmill, seen here across the playing fields from Scott Hall Road.

Dist:1.0km east<br/>A large Victorian house later divided into two separate dwellings - I had a flat in the upper floor on the right in the early 1980s.

Dist:1.0km north<br/>Stands in the centre of Carr Manor Field, off Stonegate Road. Erected about 200 years ago, I suppose it is comparatively modern as standing stones go. Pity about the graffiti.
