This unusual arrangement of circular concrete paving slabs is located alongside the former Meltham Branch of the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway. The disused railway line, now a cycleway can be seen on the left of the photograph. Rob Lewis says on the Lost Railways West Yorkshire website that 'According to my partners grandfather who worked at the David Brown plant this was a test track for David Brown tractors.'
