More about this scene

The majority of Nailsworth's buildings are less than 250 years old, built for the workers who had a hard life in the local mills. Apart from the local stone, it would be easy to imagine that you had wandered away from the Cotswolds into a Pennine mill town, such is the industrial atmosphere.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I spent most of my childhood in Newmarket, playing in the wood and on Bunting Hill shown in the photo with the old Quarry. Every year the hill would be set fire, the fire being lit at the top to burn slowly down, this was to encourage new grass to grow to feed goats that grazed there in the summer months.
