Description

SE 1782 2109 SPENBOROUGH MB LEEDS ROAD COOPER BRIDGE 3/129 The Dumb Steeple 12/1/67 (formerly listed under Kirklees Park, Brighouse MB) II

Obelisk. Probably late C.18. Square stone column in 3 reducing stages, surmounted by large ball finial. The upper stage has a recess on 2 opposing faces, possibly for plaque.

In April 1812, 150 Luddites met here for their abortive attack on Cartwright's Mill at Rawfolds, Liversedge. Known as 'Dumb' because no bells were ever hung there.

Recently moved slightly for road alterations.
