Interior of St Andrew's church, Thongsbridge
For the outside of the church, see Image This is the inside, looking liturgical west (geographically south-west).
The church was built in 1877 as a chapel of ease. A school was added in 1891. There was a burial ground opened in 1938 but it was never used for burials and was sold in 1988.
Note: the building was closed for worship in 2013 and sold to a private owner in 2020 (after this photo was taken) with planning permission for residential conversion, so is no longer publicly accessible. This view shows it as it had been as a place of worship.

Walled-up railway bridge, Thongsbridge
This came as a surprise, as I had forgotten that Holmfirth had a railway, a branch of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1893, but of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway in 1850. Presumably the route along the valley was too difficult because of mills, so that the line had to climb steeply out of Holmfirth up to this bridge under Heys Road. Thongsbridge station was on the other side, and the OS map still shows a wooded area with two lines that might be the edges of the platforms. However, there is a building site there now - you can see the roofs of the new houses. The line continued over a high viaduct and along the eastern hillside on the Holme valley.

Post Office Huddersfield Road, Thongsbridge, Netherthong (Holmfirth)
Only a mile from the Holmfirth PO, so probably at risk of closure.
