Marton Hall Farm, West Marton, Yorkshire

A well-established farm not far south of the A 59. View from the north.

West Marton Village, Yorkshire

A small village on the A 59. There's a small Post Office, but no church or pub - they are in East Marton, a mile away.

Dr Neil Clifton

Barn or agricultural store off A 59

Surprisingly this rather ramshackle building is comparatively modern as it does not appear on the 1910 edition six-inch map. It is about 100 yards south of the A 59 half a mile west of the West Marton crossroads.

Bridleway near Stainton

This track starts just north of Stainton Hall to climb the W slope of Brightenber Hill. On the 1940s map this route is shown as a surfaced "motor" road leading to Coniston Cold. View looking north from its junction with a minor road near Stainton.
