Photograph depicting an eclectic mix of housing in the borough of Calderdale in the 1960s.
The semi-detached stone-built houses date from around the 1930s.
Near Sunnybank Drive is Sunnybank, which is believed to be the oldest house in Calderdale (possibly 1290). The building still exists today, the original oak cross-members are still in place, but the infillings of daub, or dung, or clay have been replaced with local stone. The original name of the house was Over Nabroyd, but was changed to its present name by the vicar of Halifax Thomas Wilkinson (1438-1480).
Still standing 2003.
