Wainhouse Tower
At 247 feet, the tower is reputed to be the tallest folly in the world.
Designed as an elaborate chimney for Dye Works owned by John Wainhouse, and constructed between 1871 to 1875 to comply with the Smoke Abatement Act. However, Wainhouse sold out before completion and the new owners refused to pay the cost of the chimney.
Wainhouse kept the tower for himself as an observatory.
Grade II Listed Building. Open on Bank Holidays.

The Wainhouse Tavern
On Upper Washer Lane, it was formerly known as the Royal. The change of name has probably something to do with former occupant John Wainhouse - the same Victorian gentleman responsible for the nearby tower, which also bears his name.

Water cascading down Windle Royd Lane
I was trying to walk up the hill to get to a wedding in the church, but ended up with wet feet where the pavement gives out a short way further up. This was on a day of prolonged heavy rain following 'Storm Eunice' on the 18th.

Photographed briefly on a very wet day, see SE0624 : Water cascading down Windle Royd Lane. The church was built in 1877-78 by the prolific local architect W Swinden Barber and is grade II listed (list entry 1259129).
