More about this scene

There could not be anywhere more northern-sounding than Mytholmroyd, the woollen village crammed into the bottom of the Calder Valley west of Halifax. The name means 'the clearing where the waters meet', the waters being the Calder and the Cragg Brook. Prominent in this view from Scout Road, which leads up through Hathershelf Scout Wood, south east of the village, is the Moderna Blanket Factory.
