BLACKSHAW HEAD

Blackshaw Head

On a beautiful January day Ken & Kasher replaced a gate on Calderdale Way in Blackshaw Head between the Chapel & Hippins. The new gate was made in CROWS workshop. Thanks to the householder who kindly supplied coffee.

We investigated three other stiles in the area all of which may need work doing on them in the very near future.

We then moved on to Mankinholes where we had hoped to repair a stile. The short leg and treadboard of this well-used stile were replaced. This stile will need to be revisited as soon as practicable as the side uprights also need to be replaced.
