The old lane to Blubberhouses Moor, Great Timble This is shown as a through road to Bolton Bridge on Thomas Jeffreys's map of 1775. Now it leads to a track over the moor that has been ruined by motor vehicles but has now had a traffic order to prohibit such abuse. The brick building belongs to Sourby Old Farm.

New road sign at Sourby, Great Timble, Yorkshire This lane leads to Blubberhouses Moor, across which is an ancient highway to Beamsley and Bolton Bridge. This has recently had traffic regulation orders imposed on it, for 5 years, due to the severe damage caused by recreational motorbikes and 4x4s. (see also SE1653, which starts at the first telephone pole)

Looking East from Shepherd Hill These fields now cover the course of a Roman Road which traversed the Washburn Valley. Fewston Reservoir (SE1754) is seen in the distance. The moles seem to prefer the field to the south of the wall!
