Hi everyone

Just a reminder that this Saturday Alison Armstrong from the Yorkshire Vernacular Building Study Group will be holding a field demonstration on how to date and index your property.

The demonstration will be held at Prospect House Farm, Moorgate Road, Barnoldswick, Lancashire BB18 5SQ starting at 10:00a.m.

It is envisaged that the demonstration will last approx 3hrs

It is also advisable to wear clothing and footwear appropriate for scrambling about in barns etc and also just in case the weather turns, a coat.

The views from Prospect House Farm of Earby, Kelbrook, Thornton, Barnoldswick, the Yorkshire Dales and beyond are spectacular so if you so which, bring your camera.

A light lunch and beverages will be provided courtesy of my wife Carole

Go over the ranch, straight across Barlick New Road at Salterforth, up past the Garden centre up Salterforth Lane to the Top. At the Top you will see the Fanny Grey on your left, Turn right here as though you were heading into Barnoldswick, Past the Dales View Caravan Park on the left, Past a row of houses on your right, then a garage site on the left.
