    3. In response to the thread about Rock Terrace, but also about the Kirklees/Huddersfield area in general: Rock Terrace is a key place for me as my husband's grandmother was born there in 1901, and several of his other relatives lived on the street in 1891 and 1901. Some of the houses were known just as Rock Cottages. Most people in the area worked in the woollen industry, but there was also a quarry there too (hence some of the street names, including Rock Terrace) The terrace has been renamed as part of New Mill Road, which is the A616 going from Huddersfield through Holmfirth and Stocksbridge to Sheffield. There is a good website for old images of the Kirklees area (the district council that covers the Huddersfield area). Take a look at http://www.kirkleesimages.org.uk/ If you search for Brockholes in their database, you will currently find 21 images, including at least one of Rock Terrace taken in 1910.
