This view taken from Wharncliffe Crags shows parts of Deepcar, the A616 Stocksbridge bypass and Hunshelf Bank. As I walk around the area I'm trying to connect the present day landscape with that of the past. Along the route of the A616 were the Hen Holmes Works, one of the largest Gannister concerns in Deepcar. (Owned and developed by John Armitage.) Further along Hunshelf bank White Carr clay was mined.
