SE1220 : 'Road Closed' sign at Moor Hey, Fixby (The part now in Calderdale District)
taken 17 years ago, near to Elland, Calderdale, England
'Road Closed' sign at Moor Hey, Fixby (The part now in Calderdale District)
This new sign made me think about the history of this lane. It is a public footpath but has it ever been a public road? Its last use was as access to a mink farm, now derelict, and perhaps the tarmac surface was for that. There were also quarries at The Rough, and Elland UDC Water Works had a reservoir at SE120205, with no access road shown on the 1940 6” map.
