This historical shell could be better sited. A villager told me that this shell case and similar ones nearby at Middleton/Aislaby and at Sinnington were given to the villagers after World War One in recognition of the iron and scrap metal that was given by the villagers to be made into munitions for the war effort. The shells came from the Royal Navy. See other picture by Colin Grice. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/177560
