Norland Moor is a picturesque hill located in Yorkshire, England. Situated near the village of Norland, it forms a part of the Pennine Hills, a range known for its stunning landscapes and natural beauty. Rising to an elevation of approximately 335 meters (1,099 feet), Norland Moor offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Covered predominantly in heather and grass, the moorland is a haven for wildlife and a popular destination for nature enthusiasts. The heather blooms in vibrant shades of purple during the summer months, creating a stunning contrast against the green grass and blue sky. This beautiful landscape attracts a variety of bird species, including skylarks, lapwings, and kestrels, making it a haven for birdwatchers.

The Moor is crisscrossed by a network of footpaths and bridleways, allowing visitors to explore its diverse terrain. It also boasts ancient stone walls, remnants of its agricultural past, adding to its charm and historical significance. The paths lead to several viewpoints, providing stunning vistas of the Calder Valley and the nearby towns of Halifax and Huddersfield.

Norland Moor is not only a natural treasure but also a cultural heritage site. It holds great historical importance due to its association with the Industrial Revolution. The moorland was once a mining area, and remnants of disused mines can still be found scattered throughout the landscape.

Overall, Norland Moor is a must-visit destination for those seeking tranquility, natural beauty, and a glimpse into Yorkshire's rich history. Its stunning vistas, diverse flora and fauna, and historical significance make it a true gem of the Pennine Hills.

John Maude & Sons Ltd, Bankhouse Mills - steam engine A Pollit & Wigzell horizontal cross compound built in 1920 and installed secondhand in 1950. It ran until 1976 and I saw it running twice. It was one of the first engines I saw running and it made a deep impression. It was scrapped in 1980 and I believe I took this picture about 1978. Maude's was a woollen mill and has now been redeveloped for housing. The engine house was built over a stream - handy for condensing water. The Corliss valve cylinders were 18" & 35" x 48" and it was good for 600 hp at 80 rpm on steam at 160 psi. It rope drove an alternator. The rather soft focus rocking levers at the lower edge of the picture drove the air pump from the low pressure crosshead. The Lumb governor is seen at the edge of the flywheel. The cylinders had tailrods to help support the weight of the pistons. This was from my early phase of colour print photography and I have yet to find all the negatives from that era (1977-beginning of 1980)
