Canal Overflow near Ramsden Mills, Golcar
At intervals along canals there is a weir alongside the towpath to reglaute the water level. The flags cover a culvert under the towpath, discharging to the adjacent River Colne.

Cowlersley Lane, Linthwaite
This road climbs steadily from Milnsbridge and eventually reaches the old turnpike road at Blackmoorfoot. It was perhaps a feeder road from the townships on the western side of Huddersfield. These isolated terraces of houses often occur, and might be the result of the builder buying up a small piece of land that was not much good for farming – in this case it was rough land hemmed in by quarries along Guy Edge. The modern houses down Slant Gate on the left were built on quarried land.
