Former Wesleyan Chapel, Mission Street, Birds Royd, Rastrick
The Wesleyan Mission Chapel was built in 1898 and rebuilt in 1904. It is now an office building. A Sunday School was added opposite the chapel in 1916, but this has gone.

River Street, Birds Royd, Rastrick
Rather a cheerless street, set out by c.1895 but not fully developed until the second half of the 20C. The 19C buildings have generally been replaced by modern ones.

Footbridge over the River Calder, Rastrick to Clifton
This bridge links the 19C industrial area along River Street, Rastrick with the 20C estate on Clifton Ings. It was a private vehicular/pedestrian bridge built by Blakeborough's to link their works and offices in Birds Royd and River Street to their Sherwood Works on the Armytage Road Industrial Estate. After the demise of Blakeborough's the bridge was considered as a possible river crossing to by-pass the town centre but it was judged too expensive to bring up to required standard for volume of traffic that would use it.

Footpath off River Street, Rastrick
This leads to a bridge, now only open to pedestrians, over the River Calder to Huntingdon Road. The bridge belonged the Blakeborough engineering firm, who dedicated it as a public footpath in 1962. This approach road on the Rastrick side has become overgrown and covered in litter and fly-tipping. The tree-lopping on the left is probably to do with the redevelopment of the adjoining land (too late to photograph the office block that was there!). I have since been informed, in August 2011, that the vegetation has now been cut back.

Towpath beside the River Calder, Rastrick
This is disused as it seems that horse-drawn barges no longer use the Calder and Hebble Navigation. According to the council website it is now a public footpath, so an earth path might be trodden out. It could possibly become Sustrans Route 66.
