Totally spur of the moment visit to high royds yesterday had no idea where i was as i was in the car with my parents visiting relatives in otley, only we got lost and arranged to meet them at a pub. Just before we got to the pub i was looking through the car window when i seen a sign for royds park and then seen the famous clock tower - well i nearly choked and once we got to the pub i was out of the door faster than anything.

However i was only there ten/fifteen mins. Was looking for a way in and then was stood examining the front door when suddenly it opened and two security guards came out and started shouting. Then i ran into the trees for a bit and they were just shouting "Hey" all the time. Then told me to get lost and carefully waited till i was on the other side of the fence.

Was a total fail but i will be returning sometime this year

I got a couple of pics though....

You can see security going back inside once i had left the area. I have left one side uncropped so you can see the difference in the colour of the stone work - they have done a fantastic job on admin....
