We shall skip through the wood together and over the stream and maybe enjoy a picnic up by Fanshawe Gate Lane. There'll be sausage rolls, a pork pie, pickled onions and a flagon of cold cider.

If so, it must have been very unusual to have such a large open front on a house at that time. Lovely wood, Mr. Pudding. I will go walking with you there anytime.

Also a wood where charcoal and whitecoal were produced for use in cottage industries - including lead smelting. It was not just a wood for country rambles and dog walking.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-22794252576637546232015-04-04T14:33:04.105+01:002015-04-04T14:33:04.105+01:00Sorry, 'working woodland' ?Sorry, 'working woodland' ?<br />Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-64688201780903743432015-04-04T14:32:15.828+01:002015-04-04T14:32:15.828+01:00What's a 'working woods' YP?What's a 'working woods' YP?Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-37501998395368526372015-04-04T13:30:02.797+01:002015-04-04T13:30:02.797+01:00To the right of Totley Hall a teacher training col...To the right of Totley Hall a teacher training college was developed but its tower block was demolished about ten years ago.
