The cemetery chapel is in Classical style and is dated 1853, perhaps before the fashion for the Gothic style reached Cleckheaton. It is listed Grade II, otherwise it might well have been demolished like the one up the road in the New Cemetery in Scholes. The listing states that the portico and pediment are Doric tetrastyle, the order continuing as pilasters to three-bay side walls.

This is a very pleasant library, well lit inside by roof-lights and surrounded by a small park. A plaque in the entrance hall records that it was presented to the people of Cleckheaton by Mr & Mrs John G Mowat and family. It was opened on 14 Nov 1930.

This building has an unusual roof, best seen in this rear view.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The nearer of the semis is captioned Whitechapel Vicarage on the large-scale OS map. The side of the house shows signs of having had an extension, since removed. The semis are dated 1904 over the doors, and the detached house beyond is probably of similar date (it is shown on the 1907 OS map).
