Snowdrift on the footpath to The Hoods
The building on the left is a convenience store and house. It replaced a row of three small shops called Crowtrees Parade. The one on the right is one of the bungalows on the site of the Methodist Chapel, Crowtrees Lane.

Rastrick, Crowtrees Lane
This is the A643 in the south half of SE1321, looking north. The narrow road on the left is the 19C turnpike road; the road on the right was made in the early 20C when the tramline from Huddersfield was constructed (why was the road not simply widened?). The signpost shows the way to the library.

Houses, Crowtrees Lane, Rastrick
These are on the old part of Crowtrees Lane. The pair on the left are the oldest, perhaps late 19C judging by the decoration under the eaves. The two pairs of semis were built before 1940, probably in the '30s. The one on the right is earlier.

Crowtrees Lane (old), Rastrick
In 1915, in anticipation of a tram service from Huddersfield (which was not opened until 1921 due to the war), a new road was built alongside the old one, which was too narrow. The old road was left intact, including the stone setted gutters. A line of trees was indicated on the 1850 map, but I suspect that most of these were planted c. 1915.
