Description: | October 1965.
Image shows part of Springfield Wood. The boundary between Morley and Gildersome was Dean Beck which emerged from a spring in Dean Wood. This straddled Asquith Avenue and changed the name to Springfield Wood as it came opposite the rear of Springfield Mills where this photograph was taken. The stream continues towards Churwell where it eventually joins Millshaw Beck. Morley is rather short of natural woodland. Most of what survives is due to being on land too steep for ploughing so it has been excluded from the farmland. These bits of woodland are usually close to where the streams which formed the boundaries of the township had cut deep, narrow 'v' shaped valleys. The most obvious of these is that of Howley Beck in Birkby Brow Wood between Howden Clough and Scotchman Lane.
