Evidence of an old boundary, Fixby
Here there was formerly a kink in the road, and therefore the stile (on the left), and the lower part of a stone wall (to the right) are probably part of the old highway boundary, which was also the boundary between Fixby and Rastrick.

Fixby Green
This is not an old village green, but a modern creation probably at the time of the housing development. Was this due to the good old days of pro-active town planning?

Cottage below the road, Clough Lane, Rastrick
Here it is evident that the road has been raised and /or widened, and the old cottage is considerably below the present road level. Note that although this is now in the Kirklees Metropolitan Council area, it is within the old boundary of Rastrick.
