Dist:0.3km<br/>The railway closed in the 1960s, and is now a cycleway. To the right of the bridge was Liversedge Station, the one on the 'new' line of 1900. There was a separate path to each platform, one each side of the bridge abutment.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This pub survived the building of the dual carriageway, which tore the heart out of Littletown. The road was called Water Gate, and was very narrow.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Littletown was the town centre of Liversedge, but a great swathe was demolished to drive a dual carriageway through from Mill Bridge to Cleckheaton. It was largely a waste of money, as nothing was done about the bottlenecks at each end, and a 30mph speed limit meant that there was no saving in journey time. The curved row of shops survived.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Built in the late 17C or early 18C, but since altered. Double pile construction, ie two parallel roofs. The English Heritage surveyor considers that the tall staircase window indicates that the front of the inn would have been the rear of the original house.
