Katty White's Allotments Presumably named after a relation of Sir Thomas Woollaston White who owned the land around here in the 1800's. Further research has revealed that Catherine Simpson (born abt 1756) married Richard White at Fewston 19th Sept 1777 - they had at least 3 children 1787-1785 who were recorded in the Baptism Register as being born at Greenhow Hill. A relively featureless patch of moorland shown here with the boundary wall in the foreground, and the heights of Pockstones Moor in the background to break the monotony.

Coldstones from the south The maps say White Mere, don't know why. The hill on the upper left is the bund which shields the industry of Coldstones Quarry from the casual passerby, and villager. The road seen here leads to the quarry and was built 20 years ago to allow the passage of quarry wagons without them having to pass through Greenhow Village.
