Visited with Dangle Angle after a look around nearby High royds.

On arrival outside Murphy's we soon came face to face with two gentlemen who had some sort of business premises round the back. after a frosty reception "can we help you lads" I decided quickly just to come clean and point out that our rucksacks had tripods attached and not much else.
After a quick chat they told us how to get it. happy days :)

Some history shamefully borrowed from Wakey Lad.

G.L Murphy Machinery Ltd. was an industrial parts manufacturer established in 1930. They were based in a mill named Imperial Works on the rural outskirts of Menston in West Yorkshire.

The company made tools, belt driven machinery, transmissions and electrical equipment, specialising in items for tanners and leather manufacturers in addition to glue and gelatine plants.

They produced batch runs of specialist components and carried out renovation work on various machine parts.

Only got a few decent enough shots, but worth sharing.
