This typical 19C gateway is off Birds Royd Lane. The house was built by c.1895 and had a reservoir in its grounds. This was probably for the Calder Dye Works, suggesting that the house was that of the owner or manager. The house was demolished some time after the 1950s, and the grounds are now 'waste land'.
