Ancient and not-so-ancient crossings of the River Ryburn at Kebroyd, between Sowerby Br. and Ripponden.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Relatively recent buildings, near to the Thorpe Woollen Mill that is shown on the 1850 OS map.

Dist:0.1km<br/>In the Ryburn valley industry and scenery seem to co-exist. The mill building in the distance is I think now converted to apartments, and the sheds in the foreground belong to a haulage contractor.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The stream is here confined to a steep narrow channel that continues down and under the disused railway in a culvert. The stream is the boundary between Norland and Barkisland (later Sowerby Bridge and Ripponden UDCs).

Dist:0.2km<br/>Shown on the 1850 six-inch map, which was before the railway was constructed. However it seems likely that the cliff was quarried for stone for the bridges and other structures on the railway.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The two paths run parallel, the railway path being a permissive bridleway. As the woodland is 'access land' it is natural that paths to link the two are created by usage where the terrain permits.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Former mill workers cottages close to the entrance to Kebroyd Mill.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This is evidently a well-used path. The walls between the fields have not been maintained, so the grass is probably harvested for hay.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Here Sowerby Bridge Footpath 135 enters Rough Hey Wood.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Strictly, the right-of-way is through the holly trees on the left, but not surprisingly the path goes past them.
