Letter boxes, Dyehouse Lane, Rastrick
Rastrick, with a population of c.12,000, must be one of the largest towns not to have a post office, but ironically it has the Brighouse Delivery Office. The two letter boxes are HD6 291, an EiiR pillar box, and HD6 318, a business box.

The Old Toll House at Ha'penny Bridge
Ha'penny Bridge was provided for boat men to cross the River Calder as they left Brighouse basin on their journey downstream towards Mirfield. The ramp up to the bridge can be seen on the left of the toll house. Sadly, the bridge no longer exists, but old prints are available.
