All Change At Brighouse

All Change At Brighouse

As I drive into Brighouse later today and glance down at the River Calder from Bradford Road Bridge, I will be checking the river levels rather than the aesthetics of the view. Perhaps, however, I should take a moment to compare the current scene with this photo I took almost 60 years ago. The river will still be cascading over Snake Hill Ford – but almost everything else will have changed.
