<br/>Not just a hut, but built like a bungalow.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>Converted from Underbank Mill. The building to the right is a new apartment block on the site of the millpond.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>Old mill chimney by converted mill. Smart apartments below Cinder Hill.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>The milestone is so sunk into the tarmac footway that I think it must be 'in-situ' and the driveway of the recent development has been positioned to avoid it.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Or Mile Post according to the map. The full name for the turnpike (of 1823-4) was the Holmfirth District Trust. The milestone is of the standard West Riding pattern, a stone with an iron face attached.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>This is the junction with Cartworth Road. Ward Bank Road is left of shot.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Situated on Cartworth Road. It has a drop and go area outside. Keep the engine running, open the car door, shove 'em out and get the hell out of it. It might not work quite as slickly at collection time. Have they thought it through?

Dist:0.5km north<br/>This is an un-made road that heads southwest up the Holme Valley towards Cartworth Moor.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>Dated 1868. The River Ribble runs behind this building, and there are more buildings belonging to the mill on the other side.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>These houses are 'upper dwellings'. This means that they are built on top of other houses (also two-storey) below. The upper dwellings have no doors on the other side, the 'under dwellings' have, obviously, no doors on this side. The photographer's greatgrandmother lived for many years in the middle 'upper dwelling'.

Dist:0.6km west<br/>This was to members of the Mellor family, in the early 20C.

Dist:0.6km west<br/>The mortuary chapel was Anglican, so this was perhaps an Anglican cemetery for the parish church rather than one provided by the Holmfirth local board or Urban District Council (UDC).
©Humphrey Bolton
Dist:0.6km west<br/>This marks a tragedy – just look at those dates.
©Humphrey Bolton
Dist:0.6km west<br/>From the 1906 1:2500 map this was a cruciform building, so the steps probably mark the original entrance and the chancel would be to the left.

Dist:0.6km south<br/>This is its junction with Dunford Road at Cross.
