Royd Moor Reservoir. A spring time view across the meadows of Royd Moor Farm from Royd Moor Road. Ingbirchworth village is in the distance on the left, with the white building of the former Rose and Crown pub, the last house in the village (going south) visible.
The dam at Gunthwaite Dam. Now a fishing pond for (I think) Cawthorne fishing club. The dam originally provided the head of water to feed the smaller pond by the mill building.
Conversion of the mill at Gunthwaite. Gunthwaite Mill has been part of the Bosville Estate (Gunthwaite Hall) since Medieval times and ceased gringing corn for farmers in 1956. It has recently been converted to residential housing.
