    Hiking

    Where the new houses stand on Beacon Hill a Victorian house stood. When it was being built in 1867 the remains of a beacon were discovered under the ground. Beacons were established in the 1800s to signal messages over long distances to give warning of invasion by an enemy.

    A little way up Hall Royd Lane a high bank with old stone retaining wall marks the site of Hall Royd Colliery. Before 1802 the Common was open moorland but with the Enclosure in 1802 the land went into ownership of local landowners.
