Dist:0.1km<br/>That is its name on the six inch map, but there is no sign of a hard surface. Perhaps a line of causey stones is covered in grass between the muddy cart track and the ditch.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This view shows almost the whole length of the track called causeway. On the left is a quarry called Barrett Delf at the western end of Moorside Edge. Far Worts Hill Farm is in the foreground, and the Linthwaite hillside is in the distance.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Climbing up to the ridge at Pole Moor. Part of Worts Hill on the skyline at the left, and a house with weavers' windows on the right.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This is the western end. The tarmac probably only goes as far as the house in the distance.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This is part of the panoramic view from the disused quarry on Worts Hill. The subject position is the fields in the foreground, just beyond the bridleway that is on the bottom edge of the picture along with a slurry tank. In the middle distance on the left, North Lane climbs up to Upper Holme at SE068140. Holme Lane climbs up the ridge (to the right) past Black Cop. Further away, the Colne Valley is hidden and we see the far hillside, which is in Lingards. Shooters Nab (SE065110) is in shade, but at the foot of it a horizontal blue line is Deer Hill Reservoir. The viewpoint is c.385m AOD and the reservoir is slightly lower at c.350m AOD. The Holme Moss TV mast can be seen (faintly) on the horizon.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The name is carved in stone over the door, with the date 1840. This is a former farmhouse at an altitude of 350m.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The Baptist Chapel has been converted to dwellings, but the graveyard is still here. Some graves are still tended, but an army of volunteers would be needed to clear the taller and more invasive of the weeds. (See also [[1326863]])
