Greengates - Landmarks

Landmarks

The area is centred on the crossroads of Leeds Road/New Line, and Harrogate Road. Around this crossroads are most of the area's pubs, restaurants and shops, a Sainsbury's supermarket, Homebase and Matalan. Another feature is the large war memorial* situated at the crossroads, which commemorates those who died in World War I and World War II from Greengates and the surrounding villages. On Harrogate Road to the north of the main crossroads there is a large Anglican church dedicated to St. John the Evangelist. Also along this stretch of Harrogate Road is the post office and Optegra Yorkshire Eye Hospital.

There are a number of listed buildings in Greengates. These are to be found at Beck Bottom, Carr Bottom Rd, Haigh Hall, Harrogate Road, New Line and Stockhill Fold.

Famous quotes containing the word landmarks:

    “The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings—crowded, active, thick.... But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow’s horizons are vague and its demands are few.”
    —Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)

    “Of all the bewildering things about a new country, the absence of human landmarks is one of the most depressing and disheartening.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)
