Colden valley- traces

Remains of mill buildings are much more visible aling the valley bottom due to flood erosion during the summer.

Eaves wood

Eaves wood Covers the Eastern side of Colden Clough. This composite photograph was taken at the top of the wood near Heptonstall. The wood can be reached from the path from Hebden Bridge via Hellhole rocks, or by following the main road north from Heptonstall and turning left down green lane. It can also be accessed by walking to the end of Eaves Lane in Mytholm.

There are a number of well constructed paths and steps through the woods which some claim to have resulted from quarrying. There are also local stories of the paths being constructed as an employment creation initiative, perhaps during the Great Cotton Famine (1862-4) or during the 1920s.
