Dist:0.6km west<br/>This used to be known as The Windmill Hotel. The windmill is genuine, and used to be part of a farm, as can be seen in these historic photos on the Leodis website - http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?id=2363 and this picture http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?id=2004723_62046450 shows the land being cleared in 1963 in preparation for the building of the hotel.

Dist:0.8km west<br/>The original Seacroft town centre was built in 1964, and was the first large shopping and civic offices development in the outskirts of Leeds. It was demolished and completely redeveloped in the 1990's. You can see pictures from the 1960's on the Leodis website - such as this one http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?id=9636

Dist:0.9km west<br/>The Grange is one of the oldest buildings in east Leeds. It was built in 1627 for the Tottie family, and was originally known as Tottie Hall. It changed hands in 1837 when it became Seacroft Grange. It was a primary school from 1941 to 1974, then an adult education centre. It looks derelict now, and seems to have lost its roofing. See 3 older pictures on the Leodis website - the first is from almost the same angle http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?id=2004316_62983340 http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?id=20021010_11175173 http://www.leodis.org/display.aspx?id=9642

Dist:0.9km west<br/>It's June 25 and England have qualified for the second stage of the World Cup, so the St. George flag is much in evidence. Behind the bus station is a huge Tesco stores, with an equally huge car park adjoining. Needless to say, Seacroft Bus Station is not high on the list of Yorkshire's best-loved beauty spots.
