Carrying the Huddersfield - Sheffield line over the Holme Valley at Lockwood, the viaduct makes an impressive sight on a sunny morning.

A wooded area in 1906, it has escaped development.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Looking towards Huddersfield from Fair Lea Avenue. Taylor Hill Road was part of the original main road up the Holme Valley, before the turnpike road was built to bypass the hill.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Beyond the crossroads with Fair Lea Road there was a narrow lane leading to a pump. By 1906 the pair of houses with the mock half-timbering had been built, but not the terrace house on the right.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Despite its name, this short road existed as a lane in 1850. The entrance on the left is to a small park.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This is adjacent to the Lockwood Viaduct and carries the Huddersfield to Penistone Line. As you can see, the bus is doing exactly as it says on the sign.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This is the steep and narrow hill that made the turnpike road that bypassed it worthwhile.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A vast area of tarmac in the junction. The land at the 'nose' between the two roads was empty in 1906 and might never have been built on.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This view of the viaduct is taken from Taylor Hill Road showing how the viaduct is in a steep sided valley. The houses on the horizon are on Hanson Lane near to the bottom of Beaumont Park.
