Weaving sheds on Warren Street
This former textile factory is now occupied by a major manufacturer of greetings cards. The lack of windows is typical of weaving sheds. These are lit by roof lights which give excellent lighting for this type of work; the other benefits are security and the lack of distraction for the workforce.

Dewsbury Canal Basin - The Leggers Inn
The old canal wharf buildings now house a pub, coffee shop and chandlery.
'Leggers' were men employed to work canal boats through tunnels where there was no towpath. They would lie on their back or side and propel the boat by 'walking' (legging) along the canal walls or roof. There were in fact no tunnels in this immediate area.
