Yesterday we asked if you could figure out where in Moortown this image was taken in the 1950s. If you have a keen-eye, you will probably see the road sign in the picture, so we hope you found this one easy!

The answer: Moorland Drive at corner with Harrogate Road in June 1952. See below for the current street- do you recognise it?

Happy reading!

In Moortown, the forecast predicts light rain with a gentle breeze throughout the day. The day will start with a cool 6°C in the early morning and will rise slightly to a high of 9°C.

The chance of rain increases as the day progresses, reaching its peak in the afternoon. So while you might catch a glimpse of the sun peeking through the clouds in the morning, it's a good idea to keep an umbrella close by for those occasional showers.

As the evening approaches, the temperatures will settle at around 7°C, making it a mild night for the winter season.
