More about this scene
The village of Quernmore is three miles south-east of Lancaster. Quernmore Park Hall lies just over a mile north of the village. A quern was a Roman hand-mill, and the moor behind the village had the ideal material to make these small mill-stones. Kvernberg is Old Norse for a mill-stone quarry. The village took its name from the great Quernmore forest which once covered this area. This photograph shows the cross-roads, where the motorist could get some refreshment and petrol in those days of more leisurely travel. The road behind us climbs up to Hare Appletree Fell.
