More about this scene

Most cottages here were built in the century from 1750, and accommodated coal miners. Other trades here included spinning and weaving. The history of Hutton-Le-Hole is recalled in the fascinating Folk Museum established in 1964. Piped water came to the village in 1892 after an outbreak of typhus. The ford was replaced by a bridge over the beck in the winter of 1966/67.
