Thanks Harvey, Morley isn't a place where they get tourists, so I just took a small compact camera in order to try and be a little discreetThank you Jack. Looking forward to yours.
I got some funny looks even with that! 
Lol... Thank you, Jack.
Compared to Leeds, Morley is a little old-fashioned 
Going to hang onto my Hartshead Barlow I think Have a good Thursday Guardians 
Another splendid adventure. Must have felt weird being stared at. Glad you did it anyway.Morley is only a 10 minute train journey from Leeds central station, so after having a coffee and a chocolate cookie, I boarded the train...
As my train dropped me off, and departed for its next destination, I realised that some fool had built the station a good mile from the town centre, and at the foot of a steep hill
I trudged up the hill, passing old mill buildings on the way...
At the top of the hill, I was surprised to see that one of the first buildings I came to was the bar my friends own. They used to have one in Leeds, but moved out here sometime during the past couple of years. I called in, and had a chat with the barmaid, telling her I was meeting some other friends there later. She directed me to the high street, which was at the top of another steep hill!
There aren't many British towns or villages, without at least one Chinese takeaway
I walked past a large war memorial, situated in a park, which looked to be worthy of future exploration...
Finally I reached the brow of the hill!
Morley folks are proud of their Town Hall...
...
Wonderful adventure, Jack, intriguing place; but I'm tired from all those hills!!The high street is similar to ones found in many small northern British towns.
There's a small market too, which seemed to be doing OK
As I walked along the high street, I spotted a sign outside a fish and chip shop, something I've never even heard of before. It sounded slightly disgusting, but might provide a future challenge!
I called into a cafe for a second breakfast, but the food wasn't very good, and while I don't mind avocado, I dislike eating anything green before the afternoon
I continued to look around, though I ended up going up and down a few more hills, balking at these precipitous steps!
Eventually, I went back down the hill to Oscar's to meet my friends, before they dragged me back up the hill to another pub. We then went back down the hill for a final pint, and I met one of my friends, who owns the bar, promising to come out to Morley again to see him soon, and descended the first hill I'd climbed up that day, to return to the station. I reckon my calves and knees will ache tomorrow!
Looks like a wonderful town to visit. Glad you had a good time. You have to try a deep fired chip butty.

a battered chip butty sounds like something you'd find at a county fair around here. I've had battered and deep-fried: mini-cheeseburgers, waffles, potato chips, Kit Kats, and a stick of butter.
Bravo!
Sounds like you're a cardiologist drumming up business.You have to try a deep fired chip butty.
Beryl Burton OBE was a trailblazer. That was an era when woman had just begun breaking into mainstream sport. Her records speak for themselves, glad she is being remembered.The high street is similar to ones found in many small northern British towns.
