Gingang at Wittonstall Hall Farm
This is a very rare animal indeed - a gingang in original condition. Almost without exception in my experience around this area, they have either been converted into conservatories or are in ruins. The only comparable one I can think of is at Beamish Open Air Museum.The building to the right will be the barn, where the threshing machine will have been located. The gingang contained a wheel turned by horses walking round and round to drive the machine; hence its shape.

View down the B6309 south of Wittonstall
This is the line of Roman Dere Street. This section ran between the forts at Ebchester and Cordridge. It's a long climb up from the crossing of the Derwent at Ebchester to the top of the hill at Wittonstall. About 150m actually (500 feet) in only 3km. You can imagine the infantry cursing as they slogged up here in their armour.
The farm in the distance is Wittonstall Hall Farm.
