"Moonrakers", Church Lane, Birstall
I wondered whether the name "Moonrakers" above the door of this property might have been its name as a social club or similar, but it turns out it was a "self-build" dwelling built in the early 1960's (a relative of the owner confirmed this).
It was subsequently purchased by a property developer and demolished in 2018.

St Peter's churchyard, Birstall
There are hundreds of burials under the grass, but most of the memorials have been removed. Many of the gravestones have been used for paving. The Nussey tomb, listed Grade II, is near the north-eastern corner of the churchyard. The first burial in it was for John Nussey, who died in 1826. His youngest daughter Ellen Nussey, a friend of Charlotte Bronte, was buried in it in 1897.

St Peter, Birstall - lamp-post
I presume that this old post at the south-east corner of the church originally supported a gas lamp. It now seems to have a modern, probably LED, fitting.

Inscription and washout valve marker plate on Birstall Bridge
The valve is probably on the pipe laid to carry water to Morley from Withens Clough Reservoir. The inscription is mysterious - why Halifax and why no other place name, such as Leeds?
