House in Foundry Street, Birds Royd, Rastrick
Although built right up to the streets and abutting mill buildings on the other two sides, this is an attractive house, with unusually shaped window-heads on the first floor. The notice on the door reads, if I remember correctly, 'Bassment music practice rooms'

Chimney base, Calder Dye Works, Birds Royd, Rastrick
The dyeworks started before 1850 as the Calder Dye Works (Silk and Cotton). Now some of the buildings have been demolished, leaving a way through from Dyehouse Lane to Foundry Street. From this way the base of a red-brick factory chimney can be seen.

Providence Place, Birds Royd, Rastrick
Two rows of workers' houses, built by c.1895, probably by the owner of one of the nearby factories. The name is carved in stone on the end houses. There must be a good reason for the road sign; perhaps the street was used as a short cut to the factory yard at the end.
