With thanks to Robin Webster for identifying it, from the "Hepworth" on the chimney stack, which has since been demolished.
Today's view on Google Satellite View is less colourful, with much less stock.

Building work at Sledbrook Crescent
These houses belong to Wavin, who have a pipe manufacturing plant nearby. In early 2011, several different options were being considered for their future. Clearly someone has decided to renovate them.

Old milestone
This, once sad looking, sunken milestone at Crow Edge had, in 2017 been dug out and the wall behind it repaired. It is one of the 615 milestones erected in 1893/94 by the family firm of Gill and Frank Stead of Mirfield for the newly-formed West Riding County Council. Over half are still to be found by the roadside all over the old West Riding. This one has been smartly painted in a similar pattern to several others in this part of Yorkshire.
