Old AA sign

This enamel village sign dating from about 1923 is one of about a dozen still displayed in villages in Cumbria. 30,000 such signs were set up throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland from 1907 to the late 1930s. Taken down in 1940, many were destroyed but a small proportion survive in their village, in museums and private collections.

Small Roofless Laithe off the A65

Found opposite the junction of Hophouse Lane onto the A65, north west of Kirkby Lonsdale. A submission of 12 years ago shows how much this building has deteriorated over time. SD5979 : Barn south of Pells Yeat

On the Footpath between High Biggins and Hutton Roof

Little evidence of a footpath on the ground, although plastic indicators help walkers on the way. Some maps show this as the Limestone Link long distance footpath.
