A short history of the new layout.

When the Calder Railway built the line to Sovereign Street they passed Crown Point. Here they built a small yard prior to arriving at Sovereign Street (and Leeds LNWR Goods Yard)

Crown Point Yard

North Road has gone in the rebuild. 'Roseville School' is there instead. The building is a Metcalfe station building modified.

The railing is Gaugemaster 'sandwiched' between brick card.

Thanks, Maurice.
When I was a lad and stayed with my Aunt and Uncle in Earlsheaton, across the road was a small school just like 'Roseville'. The main difference it was built in stone.

There is still a lot to do. Even 'Ada' the coal barge has to be 'christened' and her name applied.
