Old Lindley Road is at the bottom. This hillside was transferred from Stainland and Old Lindley UD to Huddersfield County Borough when the UD was abolished in 1937. There was a recreation ground at the top, still apparently a public open space, and also a 'Crippled Children's Home'. It would seem likely that the zigzag steps were made at the same time as the recreation ground.
