Courtesy of Mark's History Facebook page, this walk includes a pebble beach and old toll bridges. The site may soon be transformed due to a development of 160+ apartments planned, so catch it while you can:
7. History
According to Leodis It is thought that the name 'Redcote' derives from Rigg Cote which is mentioned on old maps of the area. In Armley Old Chapel there is a memorial dating from 1673 to a John Moore of Redgecote. Other memorials refer to it as Redcoat ''. Photo: Mark's History
8. Pebble beach
If you get tempted and fancy a walk along the river you will find another pebble beach(5) along with a weir(6) that dates back to the early 1800s and is Grade ll listed. Photo: Mark's History
9. Weir
The island opposite(9) the ford is like a reserve within a reserve. It is however closed off to the public because of ground nesting birds, some of which are rare. It also provides a refuge for the wildlife in the area. Photo: Mark's History
