Hi Paul
<I think so - though I somehow managed to lose the image you sent me. It's right near the bottom of the park (though don't know about any ranger's office)>
Aye, near the beck, at the bottom of the park, below the car park by the Ranger's office.
My pics aren't as good as Josie's anyway! :-D
<Turns out to coincide with its position on an early OS-map of the region >
I couldn't find any trace of it on the 1850-something O.S. map. Is there an older one for that area?
<though I aint checked any out any extra literary records on the old stone. There's gotta be summat said of it somewhere in Leeds library>
I asked an old bloke who's written several local history booklets (can't recall his name atm) about it. He said there were some old gate posts and rubbing posts in the park. This stone doesn't look like a gate post. I don't remember seeing any trace of holes or hinges.
Cheers
Dave
