View of Harrogate Road looking north, just below the junction with King Lane, taken in the early part of the 20th century before the stone cottages on the right, known as Moor Allerton Bottoms, were demolished to make way for Gledhow Valley Road. Tram lines can seen on the road. Today's street viewhttp://g.co/maps/enxpc

Phills sorted a conundrum. Problem for me with this was that if you say "Gledhow Valley Road" I auto default to section Gledhow Ln>Lake.

Talking of tunnels and Gledhow Valley Road, I remember as a kid going through the tunnel under the bridge on Gledhow Lane and being surprised when we came out on the other side of the road 100 yds further up GVR. It was pretty smelly though.
