Linthwaite Croft, HUDDERSFIELD, HD7 5FF

The listing details state that this is a former manor house built c.1600, with a 'slightly later' north-east (left in the image) extension. These halls were generally built by men who had made their fortune in the wool trade and become minor gentry. There is a former barn out-of-sight between the hall and the modern houses. This has the remains of a cruck frame, but unfortunately the walls and roof were destroyed in a fire in the 1940s and replaced by modern materials. The name 'Gordon Street' in the right foreground is a renaming of the western part of Banks Road.

This is the view from the bend next to the driveway to Heywoods Farm. The small patch of light green over the bungalow roof is the green of the Linthwaite Hall Bowling Club. Behind that the row of houses must be Tudor Street. The wireless station at Moorside Edge is on the horizon.

This cottage, just below Linthwaite Hall, has a good set of weaver's windows. There is a blocked up water trough in the garden wall. The road here is quite steep.

Dated 1824, and with weaver's windows on the top floor, which was a workshop.

This lane winds its way steeply up the hillside from Linthwaite Hall. Here it is lined with houses and bungalows.

The path goes round the farmyard wall and then joins the driveway.

This is on the Colne Valley Circular Walk. The path goes into the field and not through the farmyard.

This is part of the Colne Valley Circular Walk.
