Brook Grain Hill, Rastrick
This is looking down the hill from Thornhill Road (A643). In the 19C there were Public Baths down the lane. They were stone troughs covered by a shelter and were set up by public subscription in 1783. The house on the left has the date 1912 carved on the stone lintel over the door.

Cottages, Thornhill Road, Rastrick (SE139218)
Here there is a great contrast between the old cottages and the later 19C terrace houses. The cottages are on the township map of 1812, and were on what was then Brook Grain Hill. The surface of this was evidently at a lower level than the present road.

Castlefields Drive, Rastrick
This road follows the valley, whilst Thornhill Road climbs steeply up to the town centre. The development started with the terrace houses on the right, and the road was made in the first half of the 20C. It gives access to the Castlefields Crescent estate, but the frontage development on the left is quite recent.

Garages off Castlefields Drive, Rastrick
I suspect that the newer concrete garages on the right belong to the recent terrace houses on Castlefields Drive. The garages beyond are casually placed amongst mown grass and trees, giving a pleasant impression.

Lodge and house, Rastrick Common, Rastrick
The Lodge was for Castle Hill House, on Thornhill Road to the north. The lodge is here because Rastrick Common was the main road and there was only a narrow lane where Thornhill Road is now.

Terrace houses, Rastrick Common, Rastrick
I noticed for the first time the window in the gable, shaped like three overlapping circles.
