The new Birchcliffe Chapel, the handsome and massive building was opened 31st October 1899) Nutclough & Midgehole Becket's Well The Lodge Crimsworth-Dene The woods (In GS 3/3 spelling is North Well whereas GS3/2 has Northwell plus extra bit about a farm called Bog-edge) Hardcastle Crags (GS 3/2mentions Lord Holme Mill whereas GS3/3 has Holme Mill) View from the Crags Walshaw Waterfall (new footnote "requires permission to visit") Blake-dene and the ridge "But hark! What sound is that which startles him (the tourist) with its shrill shriek, almost making him forget that he is 'far away from the madding crowd?' On the opposite side of the valley he descries a railway engine with a train of trucks just emerging from the wooded hillside, and he cannot help thinking that the vandals are on us again. But we shall have to explain that this is the temporary tramway, recently laid down by Mr. Tempest, contractor for the new reservoirs at Walshaw Dean, now in the course of construction by the Halifax Corporation. The line commences on the hillside near Whitehill Nook, and about five minutes walk from the village of Heptonstall, where quite a village of workmen's huts had sprung up, with Mission Church, Reading Room, etc., and known by the appropriate name of Dawson City, after its more distinguised prototype in Alaska. The line is about five or six miles long, and was constructed for the purpose of conveying material required in the construction of the waterworks. A little farther on the tourist is again brought to a standstill to admire the beautiful trestle bridge, which at this point carries the tramway across the valley. The bridge is 590 feet long and 105 feet high, and was constructed by Messrs. G. H. Greenwood & Co., Joiners and Builders, Hebden Bridge. After crossing the valley the tramway is cut across the moor direct to the works." (mentions "preparations for constructing a new reservoir being made" Reservoir opened 1907 and Dawson City formed in Alcomden omitted in this guide cf GS3/3 also spelling no longer Bleak-dene) The Greave Widdup
