I've included a couple
of maps for the benefit of those people who have never heard of Mirfield and who don't know where it's located. In fact, Mirfield is approximately 200 miles north of London in
the county of West Yorkshire and is half way between the west and east coasts.
The first is
a hand-drawn map of the district now
known as Kirklees. It shows Mirfield
in relation to its neighbouring towns,
particularly Huddersfield and Dewsbury.
The Kirklees district extends from Marsden
in the south-west to Birstall in the
north-east.
The second map shows Mirfield itself
and includes areas such as Mirfield Moor,
Northorpe, Crossley, Battyeford and Lower Hopton. The
River Calder can be clearly seen going
from west to east.
