CRAGG VALE

 CRAGG VALE - GREEN BANK

Jak and Paul ventured out on a frosty morning to Cragg Vale, parking by Green Bank Terrace where we unloaded materials in preparation to finish the repair of some steps in the field below. Considerable repair work had already been done on this site where two flights of wooden steps descend through fields to meet a further walled section of steep stone-steps that lead to the riverside walk below.

Our job today was to repair / replace two rotten risers and install one new step at a particularly steep location. In addition, we cleaned the flight of stone steps removing leaf mulch to create a  better tread and we cut back hawthorn growth from around the fingerpost on the main road opposite Green Bank Terrace.


The work was funded by Hebden Royd Town Council. Many thanks
