Yon Lion
Yon Lion
Spen Valley Civic Society gets up to all sorts, even rescuing a lion! He once guarded the arched gateway to a Cleckheaton mansion, Pyenot Hall. Made of stone, he faced extinction when the hall was demolished. SVCS saved him and in 2008, when the Hall's site was redeveloped for housing, had him repaired, helped by Barratt Homes. He now stands proudly outside a house on Bridon Way Cleckheaton.
