Ruin at Blackburn Hall Holdings
Image: © Ian Dodds Taken: 5 Aug 2022
This ruined stone building was built at some stage between the 1850s and the 1890s. Although small, the presence of the doorway and what look like spaces for windows, indicate that somebody - probably a farm worker (or farm workers) - once lived here. It is still shown as having a roof in the late 1950s. Behind the ruin is one of the ancillary buildings at 2 Blackburn Hall Holdings. No 1, an old farm which was originally just called Blackburn Hall, and predates the dozen or so holdings (as does the ruin), is opposite, behind and to the left of shot.
