About this image
Mam Tor in background. From the Medieval period land around villages was divided into strips. The land was ploughed in long strips because the ploughs were difficult to turn. Many fields were enclosed in early Tudor times and used as grazing for sheep.
The photo was taken on Castleton Lane above Pindale. (Information kindly supplied by Roger Broughton).
