Shops used to line both sides of King Cross Street before Bull Green was opened up and Bull Green House was built.
Once a very busy area, many of the above buildings were demolished in 1904 and eventually replaced by Bull Green House.
Premises above were occupied by:- JW Smith's Fishmongers Shop, Peter W Horsfall's Hosiery Shop, Mr J Hitchen's Toy Business, My Bootmaker's, Hop Pole pub, Messrs W and T Avery Ltd.
Above the passage leading into Little Lane were:- Mr Gothard - Photographer, Mr Wm Hilton - Photographer, Mr W Workman, Mr J Childs, Mr TR Braithwaite, Mr HG Westlake and Mr Shoesmith.
Then comes Little Lane and Shaw's Court with a further series of shops, all of which were demolished in the clearance scheme.

During the war, the clearance that was left from the demolitions was where army tanks and guns were stationed during campaigns to raise money for the war. Locals would buy War Savings Certificates which yielded a decent interest rate.
Coming back towards Cow Green now
John Marsh buses ran to Sowerby and Ripponden from the White Hart.
The street seen running behind the White Hart was Back Street which ran parallel with Cow Green and continued into Dungeon Street as seen in the photos below.
