I used to catch the school bus to Castleford at the White Swan on the left; this was re-built in the early 1900s. The Royal Oak on the far right was originally opposite the Swan where the fish shop is. The "new" Royal Oak (now closed) was called Kippax House and was home to a doctor prior to taking the Pub licence. The old pub was known locally as "Kate Masons" after a landlady of the early 1900s. Smiths Chemist, long demolished, occupies the centre of the view. Bob
