Converted warehouse, Aspley
This former warehouse and preserved crane are alongside the restored Huddersfield Narrow Canal. The bridge in the background carries a main road out of Huddersfield and its reinstatement was a major piece of enabling work. Beyond it is the Aspley Basin which is also the start of the Broad Canal (Sir John Ramsden's Canal).
Church Lane and the Beaumont Arms, Kirkheaton
Village pub situated opposite the parish church, the cemetery of which can be partially seen on the right of picture. The pub (known locally as the Kirk Stile) has various historical links with local law enforcement, having served as a courthouse, lock-up and base for a local 'Prosecution Society'. Today it is a Joshua Tetley Heritage Pub and I'd recommend it.
