TOWARDS the top of Halifax Road, between Ingrow and Cross Roads, is Whins Wood Recreation Ground. It consists of a crown bowling green, pavilion and small football ground that nestle into the hillside on the site of an old quarry known as Whins Delf. In the 1870s the quarry was leased by Enoch Tempest, a stone cutter and quarryman who was born in Cross Roads in 1846. Though now largely forgotten, he was destined to be one of the north’s most prominent civil engineers. An enterprising young man, he had followed his father into the stone trade and during his early years he was briefly in partnership with Lister Marriner of Greengate Mill in Keighley.
