Granite stile

I walked this path once about 25 years ago and not since and confess to remembering nothing at all about it. But I've recently read some interesting facts about the antiquity of this path and the one-time mining community of Treskerby, complete with old pub. I'll do a bit of research and see what happened to it. LATER INFO: Yes, an old mining community with pub, The Pick and Gad, which was turned into 2 houses in the late 19th century. I'll walk this path again with renewed interest as the evenings get longer..

C'est intéressant de voir qu'il est encore du service et qui soit encore praticable.

Love the stones and the wear they have from centuries (maybe) of use!

Brilliant Andy. It does look a very old item. I wonder if it had been used for washing clothes etc, well only if there is a water system nearby. Nevertheless it's a fantastic find and I'd love to know the origin of its use.
