Houses on the Stony Bank Mill site, New Mill
Holmfirth FP48 goes down the street. According to the 1893 1:2500 map the houses on the left were attached to one of the mill buildings.

Footbridge on Holmfirth FP48, New Mill
The bridge crosses New Mill Dike into Thurstonland. The waymarks indicate a footpath to the left, which goes down the valley, and one to the right, which is climbs up to Huddersfield Road and Sinking Wood. The land behind the wall and trees was New Mill Sewage Works.

Stony Bank Lane, New Mill
The new houses are where the mill used to be. Presumably the road was or is unadopted, as it is part of Holmfirth FP48. On the 'Explorer' map the footpath is shown going straight on when it reaches the new houses, but you have to go left past the pair of 'semis' and then right.

Junction of track with Huddersfield Road, Thurstonland
The pyramid-topped gateposts made me think that this was an access to Stony Bank Mill, but the 1906 1:2500 map shows that it was for the New Mill Sewage Works. It is now Holmfirth FP48, and FPs 48 and 208 start on the other side of the road.
