More about this scene
Cragg Vale, seen here from above the village, was a remote hamlet above the Calder Valley in the 18th century, when it was the base of a notorious gang of counterfeiters known as the 'Cragg Vale Coiners'. Led by David Hartley, they clipped the edges of gold guineas and forged new coins from the metal.
