Lower end of the 'Snake Walk'
When the Colne and Trawden Light Railway company decided to build its tramway between the two places named, it found that existing roads would be too steep for trams, so the route as built featured two short stretches of private right of way. The first and lower of these left the public road through the posts at the far end of this section of cobbled street, and rejoined the road a few hundred yards away. Because of the curvaceous nature of the route and the swaying of the cars, this part became known as the 'Snake Walk'.

Grotesque old gatepost in Colne
This gatepost, with its strange carved face, is at the end of Standroyd Road, Colne. The footpath following the track-bed of the former tramway to Trawden begins just past here. I can find no trace of a second gatepost.

Heifer Lane Tram Depot, Colne.
Colne Corporation operated trams from this depot and when they were replaced by buses in 1926-28, the buses used the same depot. By the time of this photograph, it was no longer needed for bus operation, and was leased for other uses, but has now been demolished.
