Dist:0.3km<br/>The boundary stone in the other photo is against the wall opposite the first tree on the right. Although Old Lindley is now mostly in Calderdale district, a strip of land including the main road was given to Huddersfield many years ago and this scene is now all in Kirklees district.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This marks the boundary between the Old Lindley division of Stainland township (possibly Old Lindley Local Board when the stone was erected) and the Lindley division of Lindley cum Quarmby township.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Is this one of Dr Who's portals, or is there an EU directive about toilet facilities for farm-workers, or perhaps farm animals? I have been informed that it is used during sheepdog trials that are regularly held in the field.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is a 19C replacement for a 14C wayside cross, and is inscribed on the E face, below the Thornhill Arms, 'Re-erected / by / T T / 1808 / After Being / wilfully / pulled down / Haigh Cross'. On the W face is a Cornish Chough in a rectangular panel and below it 'Quarmbys / de / Quarmby / Crest / 1304. T.T. was Thomas Thornhill. (Information from W B Crump, Huddersfield highways down the ages, reprinted 1968).

Dist:0.4km<br/>The top of the cross can be seen above an outbuilding, looking rather like a chimney.
