Wow i saw a very old picture of our farm from the 1700 's . There were no modern buildings only the big barn and the farm house . The barn funnily enough has no round windows . They must have been put in later . But that would be a huge expensive act of vanity ..... Where the yard was was just a field. So strange it made me feel queezy . A few gateways were in a different place but apart from that the fields were recognisable . Whernside Manor must have been hidden behined the trees but you could just make out Smithy Fold . There was no Syke Fold back then !
So much has gone on before you live in an area . Its hard to grasp we are only the here and now and maybe the future for a short while ! Everyone leaves their own mark though on the land and some will change that again no doubt in the future . Most unsettling.
