Clover Hill
There was a countryside path between Clover Hill (just above the old infirmary) and Well Head (towards Savile Park). This used to be called Laver Hill from the Anglo-Saxon "laefer", a bullrush. F.A.Leyland wrote "We remember seeing bulrushes growing in the once swampy ground at the bottom of this hill". The name change apparently came when the Ordnance Survey Map was first published.

Horsfall Home for the blind
Purpose-built aerated water manufactory erected in 1892 for William Henry Horsfall in connection with a business he ran along with his brother, George, at the nearby Bowling Green Inn, beerhouse. The products included hop ales and were marketed under the trade name of the 'Big 6'. Later the premises were occupied by an electrical instrument maker, then by Process Units (Halifax) Ltd. The last occupant was Fred Moore Ltd., who carried our repairs to electrical appliances there. The site is now occupied by an apartment block. Photo. May 1975. Info by IHO
