Passage off Thornfield Road
This is looking towards the road from the edge of the wooded area. There were lockup garages here but most, if not all, of them have gone now.

Dereliction, Back Moor End Road, Lockwood
The 1:1250 map of the early 1970s suggests that some of the rear ground floor of the terrace were under-dwellings, whilst some were basements of the house above. It looks as if the derelict land belongs mainly to the under-dwellings that have been boarded-up.

The Huddersfield to Sheffield Railway
Looking southwards from the footbridge off the top of Burbeary Road. The retaining wall has puzzling arched recesses that I have also seen elsewhere. I have been informed that they are "refuges for people at work on the railway in areas of limited clearance. When a train approaches you duck in there until it passes." A track is shown close to the wall on the 1906 1:2500 map. This was the approach to the junction with the Meltham branch line and the normal two tracks were supplemented by slanting 'slip' tracks.

Railway boundary stone off Burbeary Road
LYR stands for Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. This line from Huddersfield to Sheffield was evidently a branch off the main trans-Pennine route from Manchester to Normanton.
