M62 Littleborough - PNH00225
Littleborough, M62, Moors, Motorway, Rakehead Viaduct, Street Names, Transport
Rakehead viaduct under construction. 15th January 1970.
The motorway, which was first proposed in the 1930s, and originally conceived as two separate routes, was opened in stages between 1971 and 1976, with construction beginning at Pole Moor and finishing in Tarbock on the outskirts of Liverpool. The motorway also absorbed the northern end of the Stretford-Eccles bypass, which was built between 1957 and 1960. Adjusted for inflation to 2007, the motorway cost approximately £765 million to build. The motorway is relatively busy, with an average daily traffic flow of 144,000 vehicles in Yorkshire, and has several areas prone to gridlock, in particular, between Leeds and Huddersfield in West Yorkshire.

Top Withins, Haworth – EWW00150
Bronte, Derelict, Moors
Situated on the moors between Haworth and Walshaw, this farmhouse has been associated with Emily Bronte's novel "Wuthering Heights". The buildings, even when complete, bore no resemblance to the house she described, but the situation may have been in her mind when she wrote of the moorland setting. The barn is on the left of the picture, and the peat house on the right. The roof has now disappeared and the gable is destroyed down to the level of the peat doorway. The ruin lies on the Pennine Way east of Withins Height and below Delf Hill.
