Local children playing by Granny's Rock, one of the outcrops at The Breck, a recreation ground which sits on a Triassic sandstone ridge 80 feet above sea level. Local lad Alan Rouse (19 December 1951 – 10 August 1986) learnt to climb at The Breck and was the first British climber to reach the summit of K2 but sadly died on the descent.
