Boundary Stone, Woodhead Road, Holmfirth
This is puzzling; Holmfirth is actually on the left and Austonley on the right. It was probably erected after Holmfirth Urban District was established in 1894, as before that the stone would have been inscribed 'Upperthong' instead of 'Holmfirth'. One clue is that the 1850 six-inch map shows the boundary of a detached part of Austonley here, on the left as shown on the stone. I had assumed that the many enclaves in the Holme Valley of one township within the territory of another had been abolished during the local government reorganisation of 1893, but perhaps this one remained. The maroon pole is a bus stop.

Bottoms Mill, off Woodhead Road, Holmfirth
It is good to see a textile mill still working. Apparently it is a dyeworks, and part of it is used by a builders' merchant.
