Linfit Lane, HUDDERSFIELD, HD7 5LQ

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

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 part of the Colne Valley Circular Walk.

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

The farmhouse can be seen in the distance. Its name has been altered to Heywoods Farm. A public footpath goes along the driveway and continues along the hillside.

Here the lane has shaken off the suburban development and climbs with a curvy zigzag. On the left there are steps in the steep grassy slope. They are a common feature in this area, and are not wide enough to be cultivation terraces but are perhaps the result of soil gradually slipping down the slope (?).
