Footpath crossing a stream, Shepley - Cumberworth

This stream is here the boundary between Shepley and Cumberworth. It is not named on maps, but is the source tributary of Fenay Beck. The source is a spring below the A635. A bath has been sunk into the bed of the stream to provide a drinking trough for cattle.

Autumn colour, Upper Cumberworth

Whilst exploring a footpath I found that it crosses a field apparently left to nature, with young trees and patches of brambles. There is a seat behind the tree in the centre of the image, and I thought that this might be a Millennium green, but the nearest ones are at Emley and Clayton West; Upper Cumberworth has a small village garden.

Area of springs, Upper Cumberworth

There is water amongst the grass in this area, especially in hollows amongst the birch trees on the other side of the footpath.

Old milestone

This milestone is set into the garden wall of Salt Pie Cottage on the A629 between High Flatts and Birds Edge. The owners rebuilt the wall to show more of the milestone and on a very sunny day it is surrounded by flowers, possibly of the mallow family. It is 9 miles to Huddersfield and 3¼ to Penistone on the old tollroad. Grade II listed 1135304.

Old milestone

A view across the A629 in Shepley. The milestone has been painted recently. But in the distance the two masts of Emley Moor Transmitter. The shorter one was a replacement for the original which collapsed from the weight of snow in 1963. Now that needs repairs and alterations so the thinner structure has been set up beside it.
