Large Outbuilding beside Pasture House The outbuilding is larger than the farmhouse itself, which is concealed from view behind this bulky edifice.
The complex is located beside Withens Clough Reservoir, and seems to be the only sign of habitation in the vicinity.
The outbuilding appears to be a converted barn in need of some repair.
Passed by on the Calderdale Way long distance footpath.
