Midgley (Calderdale): what to know before moving day
Town Gate is the village street, and it is lined with listed buildings. The village stocks stand next to 61 Town Gate, a circular stone pinfold sits at a road junction, and the houses include 1, 2 and 3 Town Gate, a row of 19th-century cottages, as well as 26 and 49 Town Gate from the 18th century. Older still are Cliff Hill, dated 1601 with an archway added about a century later, Great House, and Lacey Hey Farmhouse, both mid 17th century and now each split into two homes.
When the Co-op closed, the building was refurbished and reopened in February 2010 as a shop and community room run by volunteers, which OpenStreetMap lists as Midgley Shop and The Old Co-op Community Room. Midgley School provides the primary schooling. Frank Lane, Chapel Lane and Yew Trees Croft lead off Town Gate, and parking on a village street like this is worth arranging with neighbours before the day.
