This is one of three straight roads that enter the village from the north. They might have been set out by an enclosure award. This one was called Workhouse Lane on the 1850 map, and the workhouse was half-way up. It was operated by the Huddersfield Union. Most of the houses have rendered walls, probably originally council houses, but the pair on the left are stone-faced.
