This tall, roughly-hewn stoop stone is actually a boundary stone or guide stone and is a tallish, rough-hewn gritstone pillar with a flat top, and is set into a base stone from the original old stoop whose base is all that remains of the original stoop from the early part of the 19th Century, which had, at that time, stood at Coney Lodge Farm about a ¼ of a mile to the northeast, but was apparently destroyed by lightning around 1836, after which a replacement stoop was erected. In 1983 it was moved once again a short distance to the side of the A658 roundabout when an extension to the airport’s runway was being built.

This is the junction of Warren House Lane to the left and Victoria Avenue (Harrogate Road) to the right. The young trees were many planted along the newly named Victoria Avenue to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1898. Here we see that the protective frames have still to be fitted.

The two huts in the background were later replaced, the new ones were used as a farm labourers home and a tea shop run by John William Hudson.

Warren House Lane is on the left, Harrogate Road going off to the right. By the Long Stoop a man and a girl are sitting in a pony and trap.
To the left are two huts which would be replaced after the First World War. The hut at the left edge was used as a dwelling for a farm labourer. The other is a cafe, it has a sign “Avenue Cafe”, so called because this stretch of Harrogate Road had been named Victoria Avenue in honour of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. The cafe was licensed to sell tobacco and cigarettes.
On the back of the card is the following message:
“July 15th Dear all, I have just come back from the cricket match Horsforth got 190 Yeadon 156, I hope you are enjoying yourself and having good weather everything seems to be going on alright at this end, I have just heard that the Council have settled for the Dam and Thornton’s ? the price somewhere about £2,500”
