  • DOWN the LINE from THORNER a 3.5 Mile Easy Going Walk Which Can Be Muddy in Places; 4 Stiles
    DOWN THE LINE FROM THORNER A 3.5 mile easy going walk which can be muddy in places; 4 stiles Thorner village appears in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Torneure" (also "Tornoure") which probably means "thorn tree". The Thorner parish area used to include the nearby villages of Scarcroft and Shadwell. Thorner is also noted for having no street lighting, and a pétanque area. Start point – Mexborough Arms, Main Street, Thorner. There is ample street parking on Main Street. With the Mexborough Arms at your back, cross straight over Main Street to take the road forward ahead of you which is Stead Lane and then right along Butts Garth. Continue forward taking the first road on your left with a footpath sign to Barwick and Scholes. The road eventually becomes a farm track; keep straight ahead and then around a left hand bend. Ignore the steps and stile to your right and just before an old railway bridge, turn right and immediately left on to a footpath with a wooden fence, to your right to reach a metal kissing gate. Now, turn right and follow the footpath straight forward. You are now on the route of the original railway that ran from Leeds to Wetherby. The passenger service between Leeds and Wetherby was withdrawn in January 1964, closing the intermediate stations. The Leeds to Wetherby was the first line in Yorkshire to fall victim to the Beeching plan published in 1963 and 1964 was the peak year for line closures with over 1000 miles 'axed'. Penda’s Way, Scholes, Thorner, Bardsey, Collingham Bridge, and Wetherby stations were all closed.

  • The Three Milestones of Scarcroft, West Yorkshire Lionel Scott
    This paper first appeared in Milestones and Waymarkers, vol. 8 (2015), published by the Milestone Society (www.milestonesociety.co.uk; Yorkshire Branch www.yorkshire-milestones.co.uk); © The Milestone Society and the Author. The plan and photographs figs 2-5 are by the Author; figs 6-7 by a Mr Ecclestone formerly of Shadwell. ............................................................................... The three milestones of Scarcroft, West Yorkshire Lionel Scott The village of Scarcroft contains three milestones, all Grade II listed. One is a standard turnpike stone, which of itself would not merit special mention; but the other two are pre- turnpike stones which each raise difficult questions of interpretation. To help the reader unfamiliar with the area, a little background is desirable. Roads and places not shown on Fig 1 can be easily accessed on Google Maps or similar. Scarcroft now sits astride the A58, the first village north of Leeds in the direction of Wetherby. However, from the outskirts of Leeds to Collingham, a couple of miles from Wetherby, the A58 is "new", that is to say that it was constructed as a turnpike under an Act of 1824. At its southern end it connected to the Leeds to Roundhay turnpike (Act of 1808; Roundhay was then a village 4 miles north of Leeds); at its northern end it connected to the Otley to Tadcaster turnpike (Act of 1753) at Collingham. The latter, now the A659, passes through Collingham and Wetherby en route to Tadcaster. So before 1826 the only access out of Scarcroft was to go east or west. Fig 1 shows the roads on Jeffery's 1771 map of Yorkshire superimposed in red on a modern map, with modern road names (also used below); part of the A659 runs along the top.
