Crows Nest

Previously known as the Harewood & Upton Recreation Club, the establishment now known as the Crow's Nest is situated across the street from the old pithead buildings of Upton Colliery. The name "Crow's Nest" was chosen due to its high location, offering an elevated view of the surroundings. The site of the former colliery, when it was still operational, can be viewed by following this link: http://www.twixtaireandcalder.org.uk/WakefieldCMS/Pages/TAandC/ImageView.aspx?source=l04687&thumbnail=False. This will provide a visual representation of the historical context of the area and the Crow's Nest's unique positioning.
