Approaching West Closes Farm The lane is a private road serving five farms, of which this is the last. It's also a public footpath. The main farmhouse is grade II listed but not seen in this view, and was the home of a well known 19th century organ builder, John Laycock (source: <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.farnhill.co.uk/History_Docs/Kildwick%20Organ%20grave%20-%20issue%203.pdf" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.farnhill.co.uk/History_Docs/Kildwick%20Organ%20grave%20-%20issue%203.pdf">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> ).

Cook House Farm This is a view from behind the farm to the west. The map shows the public footpath passing in front (south) of the property, but as I approached from the east, looking for a stile or gate, the owner and his dog came out and directed me round the back instead. The farm was the birthplace of a well-known organ builder, John Laycock who later lived at nearby West Closes.(source: <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.farnhill.co.uk/History_Docs/Kildwick%20Organ%20grave%20-%20issue%203.pdf" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.farnhill.co.uk/History_Docs/Kildwick%20Organ%20grave%20-%20issue%203.pdf">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> )

Cows at Birks Farm The field is the one immediately below Cook House <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6954338">SD9844 : Cook House Farm</a> but I get the impression that the latter is no longer a working farm, and the cattle probably belong to Birks Farm lower down the hill.
