Boarded up building
Looking at the shape of the windows this building could once have been a place of worship there are no other signs as to say what its use it ever was.

The Dalston Oak, from the west, Acorn Bank estate
Acorn Bank is a National Trust property, incorporating an old house, gardens, woodland, a watermill and a disused drift mine. In the 1700s, John Dalston felled most of the oak woodland that blocked his view of the Lake District. This is one of the few trees that was not cut down. It is one of the oldest trees on the estate, certainly many centuries old.

The Dalston Oak, Acorn Bank
This tree is 500 years old and has a hollow trunk; the hole can be seen as a dark upright ellipse. It was perhaps the only tree spared when Mr Dalston had the woodland cleared from in front of the house for the sake of the view.
