Path across the golf course, Longwood
This path leads to Nettleton Hill via the site of Petty Royd, with a branch up through Pighill Wood.
Shaw Lane, Longwood
An old lane, shown on the 1850 six-inch map, now with a modern concrete surface.
Shaw Lane, Longwood
The climb up through Hirst Wood. Paving this lane with setts must have been expensive; was it paid for by the owner of Shaw, or by the township?
Site of Petty Royd, Longwood
From the name I assume that this was a farmstead made by clearing woodland in the medieval or early modern period. There is very little of the buildings left now.
Stone posts at Petty Royd, Longwood
It seems likely that these are tenter posts, but not the usual type. The cloth pieces were stretched between the post and a hook on the wall of a weaver's cottage. (information from Ian Beesley via Chris Allen)
Footpath east of Petty Royd, Longwood
Eventually this path splits, with one way down to Leys and one along the top side of Longwood Reservoir.
Entrance to Hirst Mill, Longwood
Not very grand, but presumably there was a gate here at one time.
