Parked on the corner of Long Lane. Walked up to the house and asked permission which was granted although he had never heard of a trig point before...No sign of any dogs.

Parking opposite Common Lane, took a left onto Long Lane, a left at the Long Lane Barrowclough Lane junction & a final left uphill to follow the wall. The wall could so easily be scaled if trespass is your thing & despite reports of dogs, the trig is within a small enclosure guarded by a gate should 'Who let the dogs out' be played giving one time to scarper. But most 'trigbaggers' don't go for that sort of thing do they?...Wouldn't it be nice & all well with the world if those trigpoints giving us 'trig baggers' restless nights prior to a days 'trigbagging' were highlighted in someway by their owners as being accessible...Silly I know! Parking is possible at the Long Lane Barrowclough Lane junction but the approach via Long Lane is pretty rough for a car!

Difficult to access. Seems to be at the bottom of a residential garden. Walked round to the drive of the house with intention of asking permission to access but heard a dog barking so decided not to continue. A little walk back, a jump over the wall and quick few photos taken! Good views of Halifax and of course the Beacon itself.

(2416) Parked on The Crescent and then a steady 10 minute stroll - taking in both the football and the views - down Long Lane to Beacon House. Which sports an impressively high and sturdy looking dry stone wall. Luckily someone was about, and permission was freely given to visit the pillar. Guard dog safely kept behind a closed door! The pillar sits within a small fenced off compound at the rear of the house. All in good condition and still sporting its original centre plug. Good views at this location encompassing the whole of Halifax below. Pillar history: Built on the 24th of September 1947, at a cost of £6 5s 1d. Last maintained by the OS in June of 1986.

Stood at the wall 5m away from the pillar. Didn't cross the wall to touch it because: 1. It's in a residential garden and I wanted to respect their privacy. 2. The wall looked unstable and I didn't want to cause any damage. 3. I don't fancy my chances face to face with a large alsatian on his patch. 4. The grass was long and wet. (Actually 4 wasn't a significant part of the rationale).

I am still unsure whether the compound belongs to the house or is something else all together. Anyway, the trig is there overlooking halifax.
