New ponds, Newland. You won't find these on the OS Map, or Google Earth. This area was extensively mined with opencast collieries, and clay workings for brick making. It is now being reclaimed, partly by landfill with Wakefield's rubbish. These ponds are approximately on the site of the brickworks shown on the OS map.

We where put in a disability room so all the amenities where low down. The shower was slow and we had no full length mirror. I have stayed at the Marriott before and it was nice but I was disappointed
