Colne: Bungalow near western end of Greenfield Road
This lovely bungalow is all one property, and it is No 118 Greenfield Road. When built it took the next number after the numbers used by the nearby terrace block. for an explanation of this, see Image

Colne: Western end of Greenfield Road
At its western end, Greenfield Road turns through a right angle to the north, so that this group of houses are perpendicular to the main run of the road. The numbering of these houses appears idiosyncratic, but can be explained in terms of their history. When first built, this was a block of sixteen back-to-back houses in eight pairs. The front houses, seen here, were numbered consecutively 102 to 109. The numbering was then continued round the back, so that the houses at the rear had numbers 110 (far end) to 117. Over the years, all except three of the back-to-back pairs were knocked through to make single houses, which took the number of the front house, in the cases of 103, 104, 105 and 109. Thus numbers 116, 115, 114 and 110 went out of use. In the case of the nearest pair of houses, however, when knocked through into a single house, it took the number of the back house, 117.
So now we have at the front houses numbered 117, then 103 to 109, of which three, (106, 107, and 108) are still back-to-backs. And round the back, we have just three back-to-backs, Nos 111, 112 and 113.

Colne: Wanless Water
In the Border area, streams or small rivers are usually given the name 'Water' rather than the Yorkshire 'Beck' or the Lancashire 'Brook'. Wanless Water is a small stream that appears to rise at about 877419 and flow southwards roughly parallel to the canal, before being culverted beneath the M65 motorway to emerge again to view here, being visible from the footpath that leads from Greenfield Road to the canal towpath. Wanless Water then flows into Colne Water about 100 metres further on.
