Spen Ringway Both the disused railways running through Heckmondwike have been converted into cycle- and footway. This is the upper line, now part of the Spen Ringway. The lower line is the Spen Valley Greenway http://www.sustrans.org.uk/webfiles/leaflets/SPEN%20VALLEY.pdf.
Upper Independent Chapel and Sunday School, High Street, Heckmondwike The building on the right was the Sunday School when it was built in 1856; it has an inscription in the pediment: 'Independent Day and Sabbath Schools. Anno Domini 1856'. It is now the chapel (United Reformed Church) and the newer building next door has been converted into flats. This was built in 1890 and is quite an amazing building, with a Classical front which the CofE of the time would perhaps have considered pagan architecture, and an exuberant tower (Italianate?) on each side.

Staff at Oulton Hall are the stand out feature. From check in to Oliver in the restaurant to the waiting staff at breakfast, all are well above expectations. Old school service where staff wait for you to pass rather than rushing to get where THEY need to be is actually quite refreshing these days. ...
