Believe it or not there was a football pitch down there somewhere in the early 20th century ! Turkey Mills FC played on one of the fields near the bottom of Cat Clough.

Is this the ford known as Slippery Ford ?
I remember many a family Sunday walk, up Fell Lane, then turning right down a field (there was a small spring emerged half way down probably fed from the duck pond near where the bus turned round). then along the beck through what we always called 'Old Mouse Woods' and then up to Newsholme Dean. We used to paddle in the beck there and have a picnic.

I know that walk as going down to Tinker Bridge & Holme House Wood.....................went there a few months back - taking the dog for a walk. The small stile is very narrow to get through - but then I have expanded quite a lot.......it is littered with glass................and the walk back up that hill is a killer on a hot day!
It was lovely though, will dig my pictures out...........and post some........

I wonder if anyone remembers the last property before 'donkey bridge'? Donkey bridge went over the stream at the top of the Dene, consisting of 5 very heavy cuboidal lumps of sandstone v.. the central one was supported by two other lumps; so thewhol;e thing didn't collapse into the stream, at each end another lump of sandstone was placed ontop to counter balkance the weight of the central pieces of sandstone ... back to the property. It was an old passenger railway carriage or, more probably, an old single decker bus carriage. On the front, for the whole length, was an enclosed glass verandah. There was a kitchen inside. I suspect it was a 'bus' because my grandfather either rented it or owned it. He was a night forman on the Keighley West Yorkshire buses for most of the time when I was young. The main memory I have of the property was the ornament in the front window. It fascinated me. It was a green glass blown paper weight with what appeared to be a silver paper flower inside?
