This photograph was taken seventy years later. Notice how the steps have
worn and the slightly different gates.

Parade
Taken in the early 1960’s. The Wooden barn from where Mr George Mawer ran
his joinery business can be seen and where Canon Hicks found the old wooden
panelling now in the Church.

Back Lane
A glimpse of Bramham Old Hall and Church View when it was two cottages. It
was converted into one house in about 1974. Back Lane, originally a gated
cart track, ends here, hence the seemingly odd route of Vicarage Lane.

The Crag
The remains
of the arch can still he seen, but the cottages arc long demolished.
The house on the left remains, once, it is said, a coaching inn with the
archway leading into a yard for the coaches and horses.‑ A stone dated 1661
was found in the cottage, and a two man prison, under the kitchen floor,
hewn cut of rock, access being by levering up a trap door. Prisoners were
kept here overnight on their way up and down the Great North Road |
