Benny Lane and Bank End Road, Golcar

Bolster Moor Baptist Church
Seen from the farm shop car park. The church closed in 2013 but was bought by the farm shop and is, I think, used by a local play group.

Bank End Road, Golcar
A fine row of former weaver's cottages near the later Heath House Mill (out of sight to the right). Golcar was a major centre of the domestic woollen industry and there are many of these with their characteristic closely spaced top floor windows.
