Job Centre Plus, Owler Ings Road, Brighouse
A typical neo-Georgian mid-20C government building, with large arched windows and a doorway to match. Over the door 'Employers and Juveniles' is carved in stone. The entrance for everyone is now round the corner in Spring Street.

94 to 98 Commercial Street, Brighouse
Church Lane used to lead to the church (not surprisingly!) but is now only a short street leading to the bus station. The building on the left is shown on the 1850 OS map, and the one on the right not until a map of c. 1870.

100 to 110 Commercial Street, Brighouse
The longest block of old buildings in the street, and shown on the 1850 OS map. A curious feature is that they all taper slightly from front to back. Although this is now part of Commercial Street, it was originally the bottom end of Halifax Road (assuming that the latter started at the top of Briggate, from which this photograph was taken).

112 to 116 Commercial Street, Brighouse
The last three shops along Commercial Street. The pair with the pyramid roof look to be possibly of the 18C, with those mullioned windows, and would have faced onto Halifax Road before Commercial Street was constructed. On the left side Parsonage Lane went up to the Vicarage on the west side of St Martin's Church. Now it only goes up to the Methodist Sunday School and is then blocked off by the bypass road.

Heaton Street, off Church Lane, Brighouse
Still on the street map, but little more than a yard behind Webster's furniture shop (to the right). The building on the left was a row of back-to-backs on the 1907 map, the other side facing Gooder Street.
