Sledbrook Brow.
This is now a playing field, with a community centre in the top left corner of the field. |

It's odd how this fence runs up and over the slag heap. Do you think an earlier boundary, now hidden under the pile of waste, was being marked? |

The Hepworth Iron Works site looks like a brickworks to me. Evidence - kilns for firing bricks and stacks of the product. I understand clay and coal were mined at Crow Edge from the mid-nineteenth century, if not earlier, and clay pipes are still made on or near the site today |

Hi MB, The company name is Hepworth Iron Co (as painted on the roof in the photo), and this is their Works. But they produced clay products...here's the Graces Guide entry http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Hepworth_Iron_Co Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |
