the falls are formed by a small stream, which was once known as Gylloproyd Dike, dropping over a natural fault line where sandstone meets softer shale

the stream then passes through a conduit under the former Meltham Branch Line before joining Hall Dike near to Bent Ley Mills

traditionally the stream was part of the boundary line between the districts of Meltham and South Crosland
