More about this scene
Garrigill is a typical North Pennine village, clustered defensively around its central green in which stock would be gathered in time of attack. The village stands on the River South Tyne, not far from its source and just below Cross Fell, at 2,930ft the highest summit in the Pennines.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My grandparents, William and Jane Herdman, lived in the village for many years, as did my great uncles and aunts. My mother was a pupil at the local school in the village. We went there in all sorts of weather for years. I remember walking for miles and almost being trampled to death buy a heard of cows off to be milked.
