RE Mr Alwyn Taylor's letter, I too think it would be a great shame to demolish Poppleton Gate House, even though I don't live in the area anymore.
When there was no Manor School, no The Paddocks, no Paddock Way and Millgates there was Poppleton Gate back drive, and the Lodge stood at the entrance to the front drive. It was a lovely "green oasis" to grow up and be associated with.
Unfortunately, Boroughbridge Road has changed beyond belief but I think it is called progress.
