Cows at Carrbrook Fold under Slatepit Moor.
In the opposite direction looking North down Swallow Lane towards the village with Buckton Castle (earthwork not building) in the background.
Turning towards the East we see an estate of new houses where once stood Shaw Mill, founded around 1777, on the site where the Stonemead housing estate is today. In 1825 the old Shaw Mill was demolished and a new block-printing works erected. Later this became steam powered. From the 1870s extensions to the works were made. In 1899 it became part of the "Calico Printers Association". The works closed in 1969.
The streets on the new estate are named Printers Drive and Calico Crescent.
More information can be found on the Carrbrook Village website.

It is nice to see such well-maintained rural areas, and I enjoyed the picture with the road and fence disappearing into the distance

Gosh, it's all very tidy round your way, isn't it? No rubbish to be seen, no untidy fields and hedges, or weeds in the pavement ... not like here!
ReplyDeletevery nice and peaceful country setting! i love the photos... so green and fresh and alive! reminds me of our countryside drives.
ReplyDeleteFunny how they keep the name like Printers for the housing. Here the idea is to incorporate Manx words, rather than Anglo Saxon or Norman. Very pretty rolling greens and I will bore you again with the nice to see no litter comment.
ReplyDeleteLovely pastoral setting, and thanks for the history.
ReplyDeleteWhat an idyllic setting! I like the fact they preserved some of the history in the street names. Thanks for sharing!
