Distance
1
Lord's Lane, Rastrick
This road seems to have been made when the railway was constructed alongside c.1840. By 1859 the only development along the road was Crossley Street.

Crossley Street, Rastrick
The houses on the left are on the 1850 OS map, but with only a very narrow street. The wide street and the houses on the right were shown on the 1907 map but not the one of c.1895.

Newlands Close, Rastrick
When the houses on the west side of Crossley Street were built around 1900, a gap was left to give access to a triangular field behind. This was duly developed as Newlands Close in the late 20C (Newlands was the name of the field, or rather of a series of fields on the east side of Huddersfield Road).

Lockup garages, Crossley Street, Rastrick
The old maps suggest that there were houses on this site, but they had been pulled down by 1907, and it seems strange that the site has not yet been redeveloped.

Gateway to Birds Royd House, Rastrick
This typical 19C gateway is off Birds Royd Lane. The house was built by c.1895 and had a reservoir in its grounds. This was probably for the Calder Dye Works, suggesting that the house was that of the owner or manager. The house was demolished some time after the 1950s, and the grounds are now 'waste land'.

Lord's Lane, Rastrick
This is taken from the end of the road. Perhaps it was intended that the road be extended, but this has not happened. Lower Newlands, and then Crossley Street are on the left, whilst over the wall to the right is a steep drop to the railway.

Lower Newlands, Rastrick
This street and houses were built between 1850 and 1895. Although near to a group of fields called Newlands, the street was built in a field called Little Royd Close.
