Dob Park Bridge
Dob Park Bridge is a historic structure connecting Dob Park Mill with Norwood, North Yorkshire, a village in England. A packhorse bridge over the River Washburn at this location was first recorded in the 16th century. It was rebuilt in 1738 at a cost of £50, although it retains some early 16th century material. It was grade II listed in 1966. The bridge is built of gritstone, and consists of a single segmental arch, which is high and round. The bridge is paved with stone setts, and the parapet has flat blocks linked with iron staples.

Scow Hall
Scow Hall is a historic building near Norwood, North Yorkshire, a village in England.
The farmhouse was built as a timber framed aisle hall in the 16th century, and rebuilt in stone in the 17th century. It was further altered and extended in the 19th century. In 1900, it was purchased by Leeds City Council as part of a waterworks scheme, but continued to be let out as a farmhouse until 1926, when a replacement was built. It was thereafter used as a blacksmiths' shop, cow house, dovecote and chicken coop in increasingly poor condition.
In 1952, local historian Fred Morrell convinced the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England to study the building, and it was grade II* listed in 1966. In 1976, Leeds City Council sold it to Ann Skelton, who restored the property as a house. The remainder of the farm is owned by Yorkshire Water, which lets it to young farmers for five-year periods as part of a scheme to train them in sustainable agriculture.
The house has a timber-framed core encased in gritstone, and has a stone slate roof. There are two storeys and five bays. The doorway has chamfered quoined jambs, a triangular head, and a hood mould. Most of the windows are mullioned. Inside, much of the timber framing remains.

Snowden Crags
Snowden Crags is a prehistoric archaeological site on Askwith Moor in North Yorkshire, England. Local antiquarian Eric Cowling recorded a stone circle and a concentration of cairns at the location in a 1946 survey, but the site remained obscure due to the density of heather covering it for most of the year. It was rediscovered in 2010 by amateur archaeologist Paul Bennett, who described the stone circle in more detail and noted the presence of a robber trench of unknown date at its centre.
A neighbouring area of moorland, Snowden Carr, contains a large amount of prehistoric rock carvings that were also recorded by Cowling.
