Some views of Sowerby Bridge
Sowerby Bridge is a Pennine town in Calderdale which lies adjacent to Halifax. The town is dominated by the ornate chimney-like structure of Wainhouse Tower - almost certainly the largest of several Victorian follies which were built as viewpoints in the area.
Branwell Bronte worked at Sowerby Bridge's railway station as assistant clerk before being appointed clerk in charge up the line at the station for the nearby village of Luddenden Foot.
Also nearby is the large Pennine village of Hebden Bridge with its deep wooded valleys and moorland so typical of West Yorkshire's Bronte Country.
South east along the valley is Ripponden from where the A58 passes by reservoirs over the moors of Blackstone Edge and down into Lancashire.
