The Tesco Roundabout, Brighouse
Perhaps maelstrom might be a good description of this busy roundabout, except when it is blocked by the queue for the traffic lights just out of sight in the distance. The central island has been reduced in size during this year, to try to increase the capacity of the junction a little. That is probably why the island is covered in long grass rather than flower beds. The building with the two gables in the distance is the offices of the GMB Union.

Centrepiece of the Brighouse and Rastrick installation, Tesco roundabout, Brighouse
Subject to confirmation, the music is probably the band's signature tune, the march “West Riding” by Sam B Wood (1896-1977). It was written in 1947. The band are also famous for their recording of the Floral Dance, which was at No.2 of the British pop chart for nine weeks in 1977.

Trees, Water Street, Brighouse
This short street now only serves the rear of the commercial buildings on Bradford Road. The group of trees is one of several that were presumably planted when the bypass roads were constructed in the 1970s.

Bradford Road, where it is cut off by the bypass road
The bypass road is called Ludenscheid Link, From the left there is a chalk board for The Hatch coffee bar, a large oval letter box, the steps down to the pedestrian subway an open-plan telephone kiosk, a no through road sign that would be better placed at the junction with Commercial Street, and Tudor House, which is gradually being converted into flats.
