More about this scene
This village has three greens. This one, with the beck running through it, was built up in the 19th century to house workers at the nearby mill, where for a hundred years John Wilford & Sons produced linen, flax and wool. The mill was sold in 1956 and closed three years later. The tall chimney remains as a local landmark. Around this green stand the old granary close to the windmill, and the Temperance Hall of 1867 (now the village hall). However, to tempt the workers the Village Inn stood opposite.
