CALVERLEY, West Riding

The Needle's Eye                                               SE 196 377       

Calverley Cutting, or Honoria Drive, was made in 1856 by the Thornhill family to replace an old packhorse track linking Calverley to Apperley Bridge. The entrance was called Apperley Lodge or Thornhill Lodge and became known as The Needle's Eye.

By 1965, the structure had become unsafe and was demolished.
