Old Quarry, Rastrick
These old quarries seem to lose their cliff faces and become grassy hollows. This one is in the middle of a hay meadow. The field is called Whinny Common on the 1824 township map and the quarry is shown as a sandstone quarry on the 1850 OS map.

Houses, Dewsbury Road, Rastrick
In the centre is a row of three, and on the left a single three-storey house standing up like a tower. These were known by the locals as 'Cradle Cottages'. To its left is a public footpath leading to New North Road and Spout Hill. The house on the right was built recently. The photograph was taken from on top of the roadside bank, hence the flower in the foreground!

18C houses, Dewsbury Road B6114, Rastrick
A pair of 18C houses dated 1776, built by the Walker family who were quarry workers, presumably in the quarry that was immediately behind the houses on the edge of the old common. Members of the Walker family continued to own the house on the left house until 2001, when it was purchased by an architect, refurbished and modernised as invisibly as possible.

Roadside garden, Dewsbury Road, Rastrick
Here there is an embankment by the side of the road, which has been widened in the past. It has been made into a garden, probably by one or more of the people in the houses opposite.
