Lidgett Lane
On this page we travel down Lidgett Lane from the bottom of Main Street towards Selby Road. Closer towards Main St. Lidgett Lane has many fine Victorian houses as well as entrances to the terraced Streets such as Beech Grove Avenue and Strawberry Avenue.
Further along Lidgett Lane is the more modern Police Station and Garforth Academy (formerly Garforth Community College from my days and Garforth Comprehensive School before that though everyone my age just calls it t'Comp!).
Beech Grove Avenue
Looking down Beech Grove Avenue towards Main St. As in many places, the iron railings were removed during the war to be melted down as steel for airplanes was in short supply.

Stood on the corner of Lowther Road looking towards Selby Road, the houses on the right no longer exist but look to have stood where there is now a patch of grass.

Looking towards Lowther Road on the right, the houses which are on card Lilywhite GFH06 can be more clearly seen here. There were five houses on the row and they must have been very small inside.

Looking down Lidgett Lane with what is now Garforth Academy playing fields on the right
It's not possible to take a very accurate comparison photo as the original seems to be taken from the top of a ladder.
Looking towards Selby Road. The area on the left is where Garforth Academy now stands.
