It is situated on a high moorland plateau between Slaithwaite and Wholestone Moors in the South Pennines. HistoryAt the start of the Industrial Revolution the inhabitants were woollen weavers. When the Earl of Dartmouth objected to a chapel being built on his land at Slaithwaite, the Baptists built their chapel on the edge of Worts Hill in 1790. After closing in 1992,[1] the chapel, Sunday school and an adjoining late-19th century warehouse were converted into housing and are Grade II listed buildings.[1] The Huddersfield to Rochdale turnpike road of 1806, the A640 passes over Pole Moor where there was an inn, the Royal George, and where several pack horse routes crossed, including one from Halifax to Marsden and on to Lancashire.[2] GeographyScammonden Reservoir in the Deanhead Valley is to the west, the M62 motorway passes to the north and to the south {{convert|700|ft|m}} below Moorside Edge is Slaithwaite in the Colne Valley.
