View from the top of Wainhouse Tower looking out over Calderdale on a bright, clear day. The silhouette of the stone balustrade frames the countryside below.

Plaque inside Wainhouse Tower showing a step count (325/369) and a quote from 1893 describing Wainhouse as “a man of his own mind” who “refused to become a slave to anyone.”

Expansive view of the Calder Valley from Wainhouse Tower, with rolling hills, fields, trees, and houses.

Looking down from Wainhouse Tower onto a row of terraced houses nestled in the green valley below.

Happy birthday, Mr Wainhouse 🎂
These photos are from my May ascent, a gloriously clear day that showed off Calderdale’s valleys.

369 steps, proper graft and unbeatable views.

Built in 1875, supposedly out of spite… still standing tall 150 years later.
