Dist:0.3km north<br/>This is a privately maintained road which led to the Victoria and Woodend maltkilns, and now leads to a sports ground and the back entrance to a haulage firm. It is now a bridleway, after a successful claim on grounds of usage, and has also become part of the Calder Valley Greenway cycle route.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This crosses the main line from Manchester to Leeds, and led originally to the Woodend and Victoria malt kilns. Later there was a pig farm, with an area of slurry lagoons that are probably used for fishing now. Currently the site is used by a haulage firm, but the lorries do not use this bridge!

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This bridge carries Woodend Road over what was the LMSR Huddersfield Branch line, a short-lived line from Lower Hopton to Huddersfield built to augment the capacity of the main line.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This view is looking eastwards towards Oakfield Drive. This footpath is marked as a field path on the 1850 map, and was enclosed when the land to the NE was built-up in the 19C and the section in this photo is named as a continuation of Chadwick Lane on the 1960s 6" map. However it is not marked on the current map as a public footpath. Fortunately when the hillside to the SW was developed recently the path was preserved.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>The area in this photo, at the southern end of Chadwick Lane, was Chadwick Fold in 1850. One of the old buildings was Chadwick Hall, a farmhouse. This has now been replaced by a housing development built in the 1990s.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This is seen from the end of Woodend Road. There is a nicely detailed string course under the saw-tooth gables. Unfortunately the building is in an advanced stage of dereliction.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This was a transport depot, an unattractive area that I didn't think to take a photograph of when I was there previously. Now it is in the early stages of becoming a housing estate. Taken from the old Woodend Road railway bridge.
