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.

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.

Old path off Lord's Lane, Rastrick
This used to branch off from Birds Royd Lane, before the railway was constructed and Lord's Lane was made. It led to some fields and a wood. Later it was the access to Fieldhead, the white house at the top, but presumably it has an alternative access now. It is a public footpath to Stratton Road.

Concrete structure at the top of Dick Bank, Rastrick
I have been informed that this is a water tower built solely to fill the steam engines using a gravity feed system. There used to be two large iron pipes that led from the underside of the structure down the bank to the edge of the railway lines where it connected to a water crane.

Secondary woodland in Yew Close, Rastrick
To the left (south-east) of the path shown in Image there was, in 1824, a field called Yew Close. By 1907 the eastern part of the field had been acquired by the railway company, who cut back the hillside to form the present steep bank, so that they could construct sidings. This view is of the southern part of the former field, next to the rear of the Stratton Road development.
