Bond Street, Dewsbury
A street typical of this former mill town, and very different from its London namesake.
Building with datestone, 22 Bond Street, Dewsbury
The date is 1868; there are initials MG for Matthew Grandidge, owner of this wool warehouse, now listed grade II (list entry 1479394). For context see SE2421 : Bond Street, Dewsbury; it is the building with a flagpole.
Wesley Chambers, Union Street, Dewsbury
The building now appears to be a mixture of apartments and offices, but did it once have a connection with a Methodist church?
Union Street, Dewsbury
This is the southern end of the street, showing the dereliction now evident in many parts of a once-thriving town. The shop glimpsed across the end of the street - the West Yorkshire Hardship Project - is another sign of deprivation.
North side of Dewsbury Market Place
On the near corner is a phone shop with shutter bearing an image of Eileen Fenton MBE, cross-channel swimmer and 'Dewsbury girl'. Beyond is the entrance to the Arcade SE2421 : Entrance to The Arcade, Dewsbury.
Dewsbury Town Hall
Built 1888-9 by Henry Holtom and George Arthur Fox, listed Grade II (list entry 1134707).
To the left is Wakefield Old Road, now cut off by the inner relief road.
Clock of Dewsbury Town Hall
The clock, by Potts of Leeds, has dials on all four sides of the tower. See SE2421 : Dewsbury Town Hall for context.
The Good Samaritan sculpture, Long Causeway, Dewsbury
A sculpture by Ian Judd, 1991. See SE2421 : The Good Samaritan statue and Dewsbury Town Hall for context.
Long Causeway, URC, Dewsbury
Originally the Ebenezer Congregational Church, built 1884, architect Walter Hanstock, and now grade II listed (list entry 1134701).
