Stocksmoor
Although the railway arrived in Stocksmoor in 1850, when it became a stop on the then-new Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway line between Huddersfield and Penistone, Stocksmoor continued to be a small community of farms, sandstone quarries and the Clothiers' Arms Inn until well into the 20th century.
It was only towards the end of the 1900s that dozens of new houses were added to the area to create the village that exists today. The Clothiers' Arms continues to be a community focus, conveniently situated next to the station and terminus bus stop and across the road from the Village Hall.
