Dist:0.3km<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<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<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<br/>This is the upper of two streets comprising a high-density development built probably for mill workers in the 19C. The four on the left were through houses on the 1933 map, whilst those on the right were built as two blocks of four back-to-back houses with a space between for privies. There were no gardens or back yards, although the end houses seem to have acquired some private space. There is foot access to Chadwick Lane at the end of the street.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Looking down towards the school. The pair of houses is the only one to be built on the western side in the late 19C. The row on the right runs between Chadwick Lane and North Street.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Renamed by the council, but still Chadwick Lane on the OS map. This is looking in the opposite direction to [[132865]], and the path has been resurfaced.

Dist:0.3km<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<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 This has now been replaced by a housing development built in the 1990s.
