_ This photograph, taken around 1900, has the grass triangle known as
Woodhead Green to the left in the immediate foreground, looking up the
road towards Burley Woodhead. Sitting on the Green is the old forge, the
premises of a general blacksmith and farrier, although specialising in
quarry tools, picks and masons’ chisels for the local quarry trade on
the nearby moors.
Opposite the forge, on the right, is Burley Woodhead School
The forge, and the row of terraced cottages on the brow of the hill
are now long since gone, but the school building, now a private
residence, still exists.
