North Gateway to Low House
The dressed stone gate piers would appear to be the entrance to the former Lion Brewery at Low House (from old OS maps). The metal gates to the right were on a track to Low House itself.

Stile with iron bollard, Clayton
This stile is near to Low House. There is a similar bollard at the other end of this section of path, which goes past thebgrounds of Low House, and another alongside the footbridge over Blackshaw Beck.

Footpath between trees, Clayton
This is part of a belt of woodland between Stocks Lane and the grounds of Low House, which was a 17C house (probably, as it was sold in 1665) that was demolished before the 1950s. It was sold to Bentleys Breweries and there was a brewery there for a while (disused by 1908).

Stocks Lane, Clayton
This is not a through route, apart from footpaths, and seems to have been made to give access to fields. The 1850 six-inch map shows a building at the end, captioned 'Stocks Lane Bottom', implying that the lane was there first. It also shows the lane as passing a house called St Ives.

Paved field path
Part of the path from Bobby Green to Low House, which must have been well used to be paved. Now used by the Bronte Way

Stile with bollards, Clayton
There are several of these curiously-shaped iron bollards, of various sizes, around here. They could be called 'toadstool' bollards or 'helmeted soldier' bollards. Here there are three: daddy toadstool and two little children hoping to trip you. mummy toadstool is at the next stile to the NW and there is another alongside the footbridge over Blackshaw Beck. Were they installed by Clayton Local Board, or the Low House estate?

A curved wall alongside Stocks Lane, Clayton
This is a puzzling feature. It could perhaps have been made as a passing place, or as an entrance to a gateway that was never made.

Paved path towards Low House
The path forms part of the Bronte Way, and is probably paved throughout although grass has grown over many of the stones. Such paved paths or 'causeys' are common in Calderdale although this is just over the border into Bradford district.
