SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

I've taken some pictures of old stone gateposts from around the Burley and Kirkstall area. These are on Wyther Lane,canal in the background.

These are on Commercial Road,they belonged to an old church,demolished in the late'60s early '70s.

On the boundary between Leeds 4 and 5 where Commercial Road becomes Kirkstall Road is this monolith.

100 yards East of the last pic.

These last 2 are closer to home.Bottom of Woodside Avenue.

And finally,bottom of Martin Terrace.

It looks like someone needed a few old bricks,in that last picture. But not the coping stones! he he he

Hi Stevie,There's a pair of monolithic gateposts down the back street of Orchard Street in Otley. They are about 2 ft by 2 ft and 6 ft high. They are so big that a Victorian house has been built around one of them, using it (in situ) as a corner stone.

I like these old gateposts but it really p's me off when peeps decide to paint them a vivid colour or even gloss them. Someone has put hours of work into carving them, have a bit of pride please!
