The third pair of Jawbones on Wood Lane pictured in March 2002. They were purchased by the district council after the last pair became damaged in 1967. Bought from the Norwegians for £50 the bones originally belonged to a 75 foot long female Fin Whale. Despite problems with customs and duties the whale bones were eventually put up on Wood Lane becoming the jaw bone junction marker for Wood Lane and the Leeds and Wakefield Road. The first pair of jaw bones were brought back from America in the first half of the 19th century by one of the Fenton family, colliery owners and landowners of Rothwell. | Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net Photo: Leeds Libraries, www.leodis.net
