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.

Houses at Eldwick Beck In between the photographer location on Saltaire Road and the terrace of houses in the background was Eldwick Beck Mill (now demolished). I assume the houses were built for millworkers.
