The former Rishworth railway station, Barkisland
This was the terminus of the line from Sowerby Bridge up the Ryburn Valley. It was intended to continue to Lancashire, but this never happened. The OS map shows what might be the remains of platforms, but nothing can now be seen of them but piles of rubble amongst the vegetation.

Old milestone
On Oldham Road south of Ripponden and opposite Rishworth School is the slightly sunken West Riding CC milestone dating from 1893/94. Although not painted, the name of the foundry, Brayshaw & Booth of Liversedge is on the bevel. The backing stone has been painted white but when set up it was left bare. According to the contract awarded to the family firm of Gill & Frank Stead of Mirfield the metal attachment was to be painted blue with white letters. It is not known when the specification changed to black letters on white. There is a hole in the top of the stone. It is Grade II listed 407306.

Building Remains on Folly Lane
Old maps mark perhaps a farmhouse on the opposite side of the old lane, of which very little can be seen above ground. This building with its two large round apertures is unusual. Is this the folly?
