Standing on the Calderdale Way and looking northwards, the line of the L&Y railway can be traced from middle left, where is Milner Royd Junction, across the picture to bottom right, on the way to Elland. The fine viaduct is on the Halifax branch, which curves sharply on a rising gradient. This line still has passenger trains, but the old L&Y main line does not. Prominent on the skyline is the Wainhouse Tower, actually constructed as a mill chimney but never used as such.
