*What is the Wall of Spite?
Church Lane and 'The Wall of Spite' 1920's. The first to build a house up Church Lane was Mr Morton of Sands House. When Major Ingham who owned the estate opposite found out he was furious, he insisted that no-one should overlook his land. He couldn't stop him building so he built a wall with a high fence to block his view, saying the wall had to be as high as the upstairs windows of the house. Because of this it became known as the Wall of Spite. (Source: The Mirfield History Archive).
