Buildings at Stob House, Dipton
Although this farm dates back to the mid C18 at least, a lot of the present buildings look younger than that. Of course, much modernisation will have taken place and some of the buildings may be older than they look.

Junction of bridleways and footpaths at Stob House
The main track running left to right after the gate is the old Stob Waggonway that was part of an extensive system of wooden railed waggonways in the area which served the many coal pits.

Track north of Stob House
The former Lily Colliery was just beyond the trees on the left. Few remains are now visible. The track here has the look of an old waggonway although is not marked on the maps and may just have been an access track. Just behind the photographer it joins the line of the Stob Waggonway Image

The Avenue, Dipton
Viewed looking south from near Stob House farm. This road was originally Fondley Set Lane, but was changed to The Avenue to follow local custom. The big trees lining it provide the obvious reason for the new name.
