Bridge on Lancaster Lane over the River Holme near Brockholes
The caravan site is where Lower Mytholm Bridge Mills were. Originally the access to the mills was from Woodhead Road and from Mytholm Bridge, but some time in the second half of the 19C a way was made from Brockholes, and this bridge constructed.

River Holme and a tail race exit, Mytholm Bridge, Honley
This is the downstream end of the tail race from Lower Mytholm Bridge Mill, which has been demolished and a caravan park made on the site. The tail race does not discharge directly to the river, but into a channel alongside. The reason is not known, but it might be that the channel could be dammed to make a pond in which lengths of cloth could be washed.

Boundary stone, Woodhead Road
This stone was puzzling at first. It is listed, Grade II, and is called a ward boundary stone, mid-19C. It might be on a ward boundary now, but wasn't in the 19C. The boundary between Honley and Holmfirth was Hagg Dike, at Thongsbridge to the south. A boundary stone on the main road, over this stream, is first shown on the 1904 revision of the 1:2500 map, soon after the two places became urban district councils. There was a change of boundary in 1912, when the southern part of Honley was transferred to Holmfirth. The new boundary intersected Woodhead Road at this point. The 1932 revision of the 1:2500 map shows a boundary stone here but not over Hagg Dike, so I think this was the late 19C or early 20C stone, and that it was moved here when the boundary changed.

Small millpond in Hagg Wood, Honley
This pond is fed by springs, and from here water was piped to Lower Mytholm Bridge Mill. It will be worth revisiting in the summer when the iris plants are flowering.
