Bream Avenue, Westgate, Cleckheaton
The land behind these houses had no obvious means of access to enable a housing estate to be built. The developer, however, has managed to squeeze a road between two adjacent houses. I wonder if he had to buy them both?

Brick Street, Westgate, Cleckheaton
This seems to have been constructed to give access to factories; there was a mill on the left of which the painted wall might have been a part. The street stops at Blacup Beck, which is the boundary with Liversedge. I did not notice that rather grand doorway on the right, or else I would have included all of it in the photo; it was the contrast between the drab street and the sunlit hillside in the distance that took my eye.

House, lodge and gatepost, Westgate, Cleckheaton
The tall window in the centre of the house probably lights the staircase. At the lower right of the house the wall has been chamfered, presumably to make room for a path up to the front door. The corner of the lodge roof has also been chamfered - perhaps large vehicles needed access to the yard behind, and were damaging the projecting roof?

Ring of Bells pub, Westgate, Cleckheaton
My mid 20C 6" map shows a church where the auto repair centre is, and there are some churchy-looking gables at the front; I shall have to go back and take another photo!
