Holmroyd Wood, near Oldfield
The trees with dark green leaves in April must I think be holly, although these are normally below the deciduous trees of the wood.

Footpath past part of Holmroyd Wood, near Oldfield
The part of the wood beyond the fence is 'wood pasture', with a good carpet of grass despite the close-set trees.

Former farmhouse near Netherthong
The farmhouse looks as if it might have been built for hand-loom weaving, with its long row of window-lights.

Upper end of New Dam, near Netherthong
New Dam is the name on a 1960s six-inch map, but it is named Holmroyd Reservoir on the 1850 map. I think that this reservoir stored water for Deanhouse Mills. It has been drained, but the bed is still wet judging by the stems of last year's bulrushes.

Row of trees, near Oldfield
Sometimes a row of trees like this indicates the line of a former hedgerow, but in this case the 1850 six-inch map does not show one.
