This is a view across the Calder valley from the footpath on the edge of the escarpment in Rastrick, and shows two terraces of 19C houses, Grove Cottages and Grove Terrace, originally back-to-backs. These are off the A6025 and were possibly built for quarry workers as there does not appear to have been a mill nearby. To the left of them is a hotel above the end of the water skiing lake, and at the top left of the picture a stone processing works associated with Cromwell Quarries.
