It is difficult to imagine how this street looked until the 1960s, when the four-storey houses on the left, and the houses on the right, which had two storeys on this side and four facing Bridge Lanes, were demolished. The Calder Valley Community Land Trust is investigating whether some new houses can now be built on the land. They have produced a booklet with the history of the site and fascinating photographs of the old houses before and during demolition. http://caldervalleyclt.org.uk/
