This house was built in 1879, but uses much material from a house of 1659 in Birds Royd, which was demolished for an extension to the railway sidings. Notable features are a row of carved rings along the side wall to the right of the photo, and the small stepped windows facing the road, to the right of the chimney. The road junction is the southern end of Rastrick Common. The old main road turns right up Ogden Lane, and Toothill Bank climbs up to the left. The pub is appropriately called 'The Junction'.
