Footpath to Thwaites Brow (4)
Footpath to Thwaites Brow (4)
A splendid example of a stone-setted footpath from the days of the Industrial Revolution, which appears on maps as early as 1852. I presume it was for workers to reach the factories in the town of Keighley (and at another time maybe for quarry workers living in the valley bottom to reach the quarries higher up the hill).

This view in Park Wood shows how the path has tended to slip down the hillside, despite repeated attempts to stop it with stone flags.
