Seen from behind whilst displaying, the tail is a strong bony structure. This peacock's tail is so big that it has difficulty turning round in its cage.

Peacocks are often seen 'free range' but this one is in a wire-netting cage.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>This is the bottom end of the road, at the closed junction with New Hey Road. The large graveyard of Salendine Nook Baptist Chapel is on the right, and the modern flats were built on the site of the Sunday School.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This is a section of a path from Longwood Edge to Leys Farm. The way that this path cuts straight across Gilead Road and Lamb Hall Road suggests to me that it is very old.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>A short steep path, evidently of some importance as steps have been provided.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>When the Salendine Nook Schools were built, Huddersfield Corporation was only operating trolleybuses, so a special terminus area for trolleybuses was built as part of the development. This was the only such provision in the British Isles. It was only used for a small number of journeys specifically for pupils at the Schools. The scene is little changed today; fashions have changed and the trees have grown, but the buildings are still there.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This tired looking shopping centre has to be the most run-down I've seen in a long time. There were only 2 shops occupied out of around 10 - the cafe (who thankfully let me use their toilet !) and a charity shop, where I got a brand new pair of shoes, a leather bag, and a brand new scarf, all for just £5.00 !! This site is up for redevelopment and has been purchased by a well known supermarket chain.
