This is part of the main road from Halifax to Huddersfield, which comprises Ward's End, Commercial Street, Portland Place, Prescott Street, Skircoat Road, Spring Hall,, Huddersfield Road, Salterhebble Hill, Huddersfield Road, Elland Wood Bottom, Halifax Road and Calderdale Way.
Motorists travelling from the M62 and Huddersfield to Halifax will
be aware of its steep and twisting ascent into the town.
In 1903, the gradient of the hill was reported to be 1 in 9.69.
This was significant for the growing tramway system.
Because of the gradient, the Tramways Committee considered installing
a large lift to raise the tramcars from Salterhebble
to Dudwell.
J. H. Whitley visited the USA where similar lifts were in use.
In 1842, a band of Chartists was involved in an affray at the
bottom of Salterhebble Hill – see the Foldout and
Plug Riots and
The Struggles of an Old Chartist

surrounding the Square were 14 houses, the occupants of which had to
share 6 lavatories.
Each house had a sink draining into 2 gullies, and there were 12
gullies in the yard,
All these gullies drained away to the old quarry workings.
The lavatories were distinctly objectionable and it would be
impossible to convert them because the sewer, running only 6 yards
away, was higher than the level of the lavatories
