Clifton Beck culvert
The beck emerges from a 100m long stone culvert along and across Armytage Road and Mill Lane. The stone arch was possibly originally a bridge, as the mineral tramway from Low Moor crossed the beck here on its way down to the canal basin.

Kirklees Steel Works, Grove Street, Clifton
Updated from the 'Kirklees Iron Works' name in 1907, and the crane has been changed to a 12 ton gantry. The tank of liquid nitrogen would have surprised the Edwardians.
