The White House, Blackstone Edge. - RDA00305
Blackstone Edge, Littleborough, Places
At the summit of the road between Ripponden and Littleborough. The notice on the board reads "Teas and Refreshments. Catering for public and private parties".
Dr Katrina Navickas in her 2009 article Northern History writes:
"Blackstone Edge was one of the most famous sites of Chartist monster meetings. Large processions from either side of the Pennines would trek up to sit in the declivity of the land near the White House inn, where a natural ampitheatre would amplify the speakers and radical hymns. Blackstone Edge wasn't just a site out of the reach of the authorities: it was a familiar site, foreboding in bad weather but glorious on a summer's day, a place of freedom where the working classes could breathe fresh air and observe nature before they trekked back down to the factories and slum housing in the towns below."
The Chartist movement was at its height around 1840.

Black Castle Clough, Blackstone Edge - TWA00202
River, Blackstone Edge
BLACK CASTLE CLOUGH is crossed by a low culvert which was reconstructed in 1932. On the Ripponden side of the bridge is carved ‘RESTORED 1932 J.H. PRICE.’ The bridge, before its reconstruction, is illustrated opposite page 15 of the book ‘A Lancashire Lion’ about the Blackstone Edge roads, by the late James L. Maxim.
This is also known as the "Roman Road" bridge.

Roman Bridge', Blackstone Edge. - WAO00205
Blackstone Edge, Bridge, Moorland track, Paths & Tracks, Roman Road
Undated postcard. Although the paved causeway is known as 'Blackstone Edge Roman Road' it is the subject of debate with consideration to it being a packhorse route or even possibly part of the 1735 turnpike, or even a later quarry road. However it is a Scheduled Monument. This bridge was restored in 1932, and is situated near the main road, 1 mile west of Baitings.
