This is almost certainly St Ives Estate Bingley. My dogs love it here. Check out the link: The red X marks the spot - between Alter lane and Blind lane. Nestled away behind the wood with the carvings. I can give you more direct instructions if you so wish.

This looks more like it!I must have passed with a couple of 100 yards of this!, but that was last August, so not of concern to me at that time.Plus, I was suffering, as it was during a Bingley Harriers race; the 'Bingley Show Trail-Race' (straight up Altar Lane, & into the St Ives Estate)http://www.bingleyharriers.co.uk/html/b ... bshow.htmI take it you live in Bingley?With that it mind, I also do another 'Harriers' race ('Harriers verses Cyclists), which I've ridden twice ,2007/2008, & I ran it in 2009http://www.bingleyharriers.co.uk/html/h_v_cycl ... .htmDuring the course of the race, we cross the 'dam-wall' of a mill-lodge'/pond (between Sheriff Lane & the slopes of Shipley Glen), did it supply a local mill???

I do some photography and that gets me around too. All this combined with walking a lot.Not sure about the dam wall but the local mill which sounds like its downstream - would have been Salts Mill at Saltaire (I'm in the process of doing a photographical and historical study of Milner Field [the ruins of which is situated almost at the end of sherriff lane] and Sir James Roberts - both of which are connected to Salts Mill) so does have special interest for me...

It's not a big dam, more of a mill-lodge (perhaps 5 foot wide??, on the path across it)I can't see it being 'man enough' to supply Salt Mill?My assumption was that there was another smaller (earlier??) structure that was powered by this.Unless.... Milner Field has 'hydro-electric?This is the only link that feature it that I can find at presenthttp://mediafiles.thedms.co.uk/Publication/YS-Brad/cms/pdf/SaltaireAWalkfromtheTowpath%20walk.pdfDam is situated 'Trench Woods'/'Trench Meadows' areaIt resides at OS SE 128 389
