On the left are the offices, built before 1907, but probably fairly new then. The building on the right must be 20s or 30s at a guess, with features that perhaps could be called Art Deco. The site is now owned by Younger Homes, and is to be redeveloped.

A new use for Sugden's Flour Mill. The silos are ideal for housing climbing walls. There is a coffee bar with seating on a platform over the river.

The weir controlled the water level in the River Calder to provide power to the water wheel of the old flour mill. The intake to the mill race lies at the far end of the weir from the camera

Makers of tungsten-tipped chisels. It's good to see small workshops like this surviving in the age of the multi-national companies. They are up-to-date, with a website from which I have quoted "We supply to stonemasons, sculptors and engravers worldwide from our workshop in Brighouse using traditional manufacturing techniques.".

There was a small building here before, I think it was an electrician's premises, but it has been completely rebuilt.
