Waterloo Road, Brighouse
Image: © Humphrey Bolton Taken: 26 Dec 2022
This road might be named after the Battle of Waterloo (1815) but is much older, as Jefferys's map of 1775 shows it as part of a road from Hartshead Moor to Southowram, between Thornhill Bridge Lane and Brighouse Wood Lane. It was called Waterloo Lane on the 1850 six-inch map, and was perhaps renamed 'Road' when it was widened.
