Dist:0.2km<br/>The farm in the middle distance is called Fort Montague. Cromwell Bottom refers to the bottom end of the Cromwell valley, and also to a group of renovated houses on the far side of the main road, one of which can be seen towards the right side of the photo. In the distance the grain silos in Brighouse are surprisingly prominent. Their days are numbered - as soon as the redevelopment plans are sorted out they will surely be demolished.

Dist:0.2km<br/>To the left the path leads to the River Calder Bailey Bridge; to the right the paths connect with the Towpaths alongside the Calder and Hebble Navigation canal. The path edging boards have been fixed during the last week and the ground prepared for a layer of stone.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The bridge is a 'Bailey' bridge of the type used by army engineers to provide quick access across obstacles. It is prefabricated in sections and bolted together. No doubt, the bridge was erected to give access for gravel extraction and subsequent landfill in the valley floor. It now is used as a footbridge within the nature reserve, with occasional use by maintenance vehicles.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The top rail of the gate has been polished smooth by walkers striding over. Do not worry about the sag on the bridge trusses forming the parapet - all bridges sag under their own weight and Bailey bridges cannot be built to a camber.
