Below are some photos of Elphin House when it was under construction and older photos of how Elphin House and the surrounding area looked in the past.
Elphin House is a prominent local building located at 1 New Road, Mytholmroyd, taking its name from adjacent Elphin stream (Elphin Brook) that flows down the valley to meet the River Calder. Situated at a historical convergence point in the village bottom, the property has been deeply tied to the community’s evolution from a medieval textile hub into a bustling 19th-century valley settlement. In recent years, Elphin House has served as a center for local heritage, partnering with groups like the Mytholmroyd Historical Society to display archival village maps and community art installations, such as commemorative embroideries celebrating the area’s railway history. Today, the building serves a civic and community-focused purpose as the registered head office for Welcome Independent Living Ltd, an active local home care provider.
And how it looks now……….
