Half-drained Sowerby Cut
The canal has been partially drained to allow a leak to be repaired. This has exposed interlocking concrete blocks that are normally submerged. The steps down to the moored barge are made from old tyres.

Branwell Bront
A wood statue by the canal depicting Branwell, the black sheep of the Brontë family, as well as other landmarks and characteristics of Calderdale.
Branwell was for a couple of years a booking clerk at the nearby Luddendenfoot railway station but left under a cloud.

The Friendly Inn, Sowerby Bridge
Friendly is the name of the neighbourhood. This pub is within the old Luddenden Foot boundary, but I think most people would associate it with Sowerby Bridge
