This passes through the ancient Sowerby Ramble, a narrow strip of land surrounding the medieval hunting park that eventually became the township of Erringden. There are two roughly parallel township boundaries on the 1850 map, and between them the name 'Ramble Wood'. The gatepost on the right has a carving that I could not decypher.
