Newhouse Hall, Sheepridge, Fartown, Huddersfield
Thomas Brooke of Deighton was granted land on Sheepridge Common in 1521 and built a house there that became known as the 'New House'. He farmed the land and was also a clothier. A later Thomas Brooke built the west wing (on the left side in the photograph) c.1630. ‘Hall’ was probably added to the name by Sir John William Ramsden in the mid-19C. The east wing was damaged by a fire, and was eventually rebuild in 1893, hence the large windows.

Footpath past Newhouse Hall, Sheepridge, Fartown, Huddersfield
Newhouse Hall was built in the period 1530-50, and altered c.1620 and again at the end of the 19C. There is 17C woodwork and plasterwork inside. The name was New House until 'Hall' was added in the 19C. On the right there was New House Farm, now flattened. The public footpath is from Lower Fell Greave, from where the photograph was taken, to New House Road.

Public footpath in Lower Fell Greave, Bradley, Huddersfield
The path here must have been important at one time, as it has been surfaced in stone
; the edging stones have survived for only a short distance, however.

Redevelopment of the Brackenhall estate, Fartown, Huddersfield
The council estate had become such a bad area that no-one would accept the houses that had become vacant. The solution was to demolish the estate and redevelop it with owner-occupied houses (although there are some flats to let). The area on the left has not yet been rebuilt.

Plaster ceiling in Newhouse Hall, Sheepridge, Fartown, Huddersfield
This is in the main ground-floor room. English Heritage and Pevsner both state that it is late 17C, but an expert on ceilings has identified it as being the work of Thomas Gumby, who worked in this part of Yorkshire during the period 1620 to 1650. This would correspond to modernisation of the house by Thomas Brooke IV, a wealthy clothier, who probably wanted the latest fashion: a hall with a ceiling rather than open to the rafters. There are two putti (child angels) in the centre, an pineapples (symbol of prosperity) around the edge.
