This road climbs steadily from Milnsbridge and eventually reaches the old turnpike road at Blackmoorfoot. It was perhaps a feeder road from the townships on the western side of Huddersfield. These isolated terraces of houses often occur, and might be the result of the builder buying up a small piece of land that was not much good for farming – in this case it was rough land hemmed in by quarries along Guy Edge. The modern houses down Slant Gate on the left were built on quarried land.
