The old bridge at Smithy Place, Honley
This has now been replaced by a modern bridge to the SE, from which the arch of the old bridge can be seen (but best photographed in winter as it is obscured by tree-leaves). The 'slow' marking is still visible on the road surface.

Toll board, Smithy Place, Honley
This is from the former Smithy Place turnpike. It gives tolls for animals and vehicles in great detail, and includes mechanically propelled vehicles at 1/- per wheel. A car would be 4/-, a large sum in the mid-20C, worth several pounds today.

Remains of Smithy Place Mills, Brockholes
The remains of Smithy Place Mills, now a housing estate. There was a loose boiler on site in the open air. This had belonged to James Robinson, dyers and finishers and a visit in the 1980s revealed a ruined beam engine house and a building containing a Belliss and morcom steam engine driving an alternator. This had been installed 3rd hand and was standby between 1973 and 1984. See - Image

Boiler on the site of Smithy Place Mills, Brockholes
Seen from Smithy Place Lane. The boiler is just in front of the River Holme with the A616 beyond that. It is a gas fired, single furnace, three pass packaged boiler. It may well have found a further lease of life. The mills had by now been largely demolished. The site is now given over to housing.

Boiler on the site of Smithy Place Mills, Brockholes
The mills had largely been demolished but this packaged boiler was lying loose by the side of the River Holme. This site has now been taken over by housing. The houses in the background have the appearance of former weavers' cottages.

Old milestone
Looking towards Huddersfield the 16cm deep backing stone is seen. When set up the West Riding milestones were to be painted blue with white lettering. The stone would be left bare as it was good quality from Kirkstall quarry or of a similar standard from elsewhere. It is not known when these milestones began to be painted white with black lettering. And sometimes the stone was painted like this one, or left bare.
