Willow Cottage, Saltaire Road, Eldwick Actually a large detached house rather than a cottage.  It appeared on a property website with an estimated value of £369,000. The name of the road is also misleading, because although you can get to Saltaire this way, it's only on foot. It is part of the Welcome Way.

Decorative Bridge on Loadpit Beck The track across the bridge links Glen Road and Saltaire Road (or maybe it is an extension of the latter). Was the bridge ornamental because it was perhaps on a carriage drive of the Salts of Saltaire?
