Newsholme Dean

Valve chamber on Keighley Moor I'm presuming this is a valve chamber on a water main, most likely a raw water supply from Keighley Moor Reservoir. The reservoir was originally built by the Duke of Devonshire to supply water to mills down Newsholme Dean, so the original pipeline would have headed this way. But the reservoir now supplies water into public supply via Oldfield treatment works to the south-east (source: <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.keighleynews.co.uk/news/18905714.memory-lane-keighley-reservoir-answer-mills-drought-threat/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.keighleynews.co.uk/news/18905714.memory-lane-keighley-reservoir-answer-mills-drought-threat/">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> ). In which case, this original pipeline may be redundant.

A note on access: there is no public footpath through this field, but as the official route along the walled track was blocked by farming activities, the farmer (or his employee) gave me permission to divert through this field to regain access to the track further along.

Ruin by Turnshaw Road Old OS maps do not name this substantial ruined building so perhaps it was never residential, although there are window openings.

Reservoir retaining wall by Grey Scar Road A massive wall for a small reservoir which I suspect is now redundant. There is a covered service reservoir further along this track which becomes Turnshaw Road.
