More about this scene

The pretty village of Bainbridge, centred on its extensive green, stands on the banks of the River Ure (foreground). We are looking from the slopes of Brough Hill, the site of a Roman fort which has been extensively excavated. In the background are the fells of Wensleydale, which still shelter this lovely village.

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

My grandfather, Guy Metcalfe, played in Bainbridge Brass Band; nearly half the band were Metcalfes, all related. One of my ancestors (on my mother's side) was the famous hornblower on the village green.
