More about this scene
The Old Smithy c1955. By the time when this picture was taken, Coldbeck's Old Smithy had already been converted to a gift shop. The village is on the Scandale Beck near Ravenstonedale on the northern flanks of the Howgill Fells, in an area rich in prehistory and mercifully bypassed by the A685 road to Kirkby Stephen.
