The Shah of Thorgill and His £26 Rebellion
This is Thorgill: a tributary of the River Seven, the main drainage for Rosedale. While technically a watercourse, it is perhaps better known as a hamlet, once even managing to sustain a Methodist Chapel.
Thorgill briefly staggered into the national spotlight in the 1950s, not through any great achievement, b ...

Northdale’s Mysterious Stone Pig-Sty?
During my wandering around the aesthetic barns of Northdale yesterday, this little curiosity caught my eye.
A curving quadrantal chamber within a natural rock formation, adorned with two large recesses flanking the "southern" entrance and another substantial chamber gracing its northern flank. Clearly, the hands of man have toiled here, evident in the distinct dressing mark ...
Red House
According Tom Scott Burns, Red House formerly served as a tavern for wayfarers traversing the moors, likely vying with The Lettered Board Inn, or Hamer House, where those in the business of panniers, colliers, and smugglers sought reprieve during their journey.
Red House, like Hamer House, fell into ruins over the ages. While the stones of the latter have all but vanished, no doubt sa ...
Blakey Ridge and The Lion Inn: From Crutched Friars to Modern Hikers
A view across Rosedale towards Blakey Ridge. In the front, Florence Terrace, one of many rows of terraced cottages built to house the ironstone miners and their families. Rosedale's population surged in the two decades between 1851 and 1871.
Barely discernible on the distant skyline stands the Lion Inn. There are few inns more remot ...
