Dist:0.5km north<br/>The house on the left is in the same place as the 'Mill (Dis.)' on the 6" map (1960s?) but appears to be a new building. The house on the right might have been the mill-owner's. This view is looking northwards.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>This is a bridleway with a cobbled surface, which has worn away towards the camera. The photo is taken from the junction with a tarmac lane through a small hamlet.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>Looking up the hill from the west. The house is Bank House. The lamp post on the right has a collection of mysterious signs.

Dist:0.6km north<br/>This is the northern end of the lane, as it drops down from Dam Hill to cross Shepley Dike before becoming a cobbled bridleway to Shepley.

Dist:0.6km east<br/>Unfortunately the top layer of the sandstone has peeled off on the left side, which should read “Shepley”. Strange that two adjacent townships should have such similar names. The iron plates are for Huddersfield Corporation Water Works mains.

Dist:0.8km north<br/>This is viewed from Dam Hill, in Shelley. The foreground is landscaped grounds, with a shelter, and a waterfall has been made on Stone Wood Dike, which is the boundary between Thurstonland on the right and Shepley on the left. The pasture land is in SE1811 and is a 'secret valley' with no footpaths.
