More about this scene
The same two giants later had an argument, and one of them threw his spade at the other. The spade missed, but struck the hill instead, causing the gash now known as the Needle's Eye. Walking clothes seem to have changed considerably in the last one hundred years.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
When I was a young girl in the early 1950s I remember going with my parents halfway up the Wrekin and we would stop at this cottage and have Sunday tea, being scones and a pot of tea, then we would continue on foot to the top of the Wrekin, the summers seem so hot then.
