Lowfields Mills, off Hopton New Road, Mirfield (SE206193)
This factory is surrounded by fields. It is on the former route of Hirst Lane, which passes under the railway embankment in a low tunnel. The factory has its own access along a concrete driveway, a public footpath, from Hopton New Road. The old parts of the mill are the stone building in the centre of the photo, with its red paintwork, and the tall mill chimney.

Platform 3 at Mirfield
Mirfield railway station has an unusual arrangement following track rationalisation some years ago. The original station had a single island platform (from which this photo was taken) west of Station Road; but the track in the foreground is now only used for freight rather than westbound passenger trains. Stopping westbound trains now use the new platform 3 seen here, staggered to the east of the road bridge. This is a stopping service to Manchester Victoria via Hebden Bridge.
