Providence Place
Situated about halfway between Sowerby and Sowerby Bridge, in a triangle of land between Fore Lane Avenue and Sowerby New Road.
Most of the houses have now been demolished apart from the odd one.
One wonders why the houses were built here, trapped in a narrow, steeply sloping patch of land? Was it something to do with the White Windows estate, also between these two roads, but at the “thick” end of the wedge overlooking Sowerby Bridge?
