Workhouse Lane is the lane going up to the right. It is an adopted highway and leads to a terrace of houses but existed before they were built. There was a workhouse in this area for a while in the early 19C. It was closed and the people moved to the Union workhouse in Halifax. The only building shown on the 1850 OS map is at Wood Side. Nab End Lane is an old route between Elland and Greetland, and is shown on the 1850 map. It is an unadopted lane and Elland FP32.
