Beck Hill: what to know before moving day
The listed buildings are small sandstone cottages from the early 19th century: 6 to 12 Beck Hill, a terrace of four; 30 to 34 Beck Hill, a block that is partly back-to-back; 67 and 69 Beck Hill; and 14 to 20 Sugden Place, where one of the cottages has a single storey. Most have mullioned windows and stone slate roofs. For a cottage like these, measure the stairs and the front door before booking anything large.
Buttershaw moved west in the 19th century when Bottomley's Mill was built on Halifax Road, with workers' cottages such as those on Bottomley Street put up beside the existing settlement of Beck Hill. The main building of Buttershaw Mill, dated 1852, and its gate lodge and office are listed nearby. Farfield Recreation Ground, Blackshaw Urban Park and St Michael and All Angels church are close landmarks.
