Square, Bradford Road, Northowram
A very short name for this group of houses; the name 'Square' seems to have referred to the area at the eastern end of Lydgate before 20th century development, and the 1908 map shows this as an isolated group of cottages with a smithy behind. There is a bus stop served by buses from Leeds and Bradford to Halifax.

Cast iron GPO marker post, Bradford Road, Northowram
This was a Post Office marker for a buried Telegraph cable joint. From 1897 to about 1925 the Post Office were creating an underground network of telegraph cables, being more resilient (particularly to weather) than aerial cables on poles. The cables came in 150 or 176 yard sections, and were joined end-on on-site, and the joints (as the rest of the cable) buried directly in the ground. It was assumed that any faults would most likely be at joints so these were marked for easy location later; below the "ft.in." cast marking, there would have been numeral inserts identifying the horizontal distance in front of the marker where the cable lay.
