Entrance to Hope Bank Works
There was an open day in January 2014, and the web page included: "Come and look at the new space dedicated to the people of the Holme Valley and home of Hade Edge Academy of Music. If you are interested in Music, Art, Crafts, Knitting, Cooking, Growing…… or you just want coffee and cake in a friendly place then pop down." The bright yellow gantry seems to be recent, as it was not in the photograph on the web page.

New Mill Road, Honley
This was a new turnpike road, the Wadsley and Langsett Trust, in 1804-5. The mileposts are from Huddersfield to Sheffield. This photo shows a row of probably late 19C houses associated with the industry nearby, and later houses beyond. The road is built on a straight alignment on the flat valley floor, hence the speed camera warnings (the police radar car was in action today, but I was crawling along looking for something to photograph!).
