Noah dale
Desolate? This was one a place where people lived....
Noah Dale dam was built by James King, the owner of Mytholm Mill, and Gamaliel Sutcliffe, owner of the Lumb Mills, probably in about 1806.
In 1825 Gamaliel Sutcliffe wrote a letter in which he says that some of the mills have used coal for steam but that this will soon come to an end because 'Nodale' dam was being enlarged at the cost of £200-300.
In 1935 there was a report that the dam had been leaking, and when inspected the following year it was stated that the dam was empty. The capacity of the dam was estimated to be 8-10 million gallons with a gathering ground of 300 acres.
The Noah Dale area was quite well populated at this time. Many of these people combined handloom weaving with farming. In 1830 it was proposed to have a Sunday school in ‘Nodale’ and about 67 children were expected to attend.

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.
