The dovecot, Topcliffe
Now standing amongst a small nineties housing development, this late 18th century brick dovecot was once part of Hall Farm. It stood disused for many years, but when the residential development took place around it, the dovecot was converted into a single bedroom house, with some restrictions as to where new windows could be inserted.

Shetland Ponies Topcliffe
A tall hedge, or small horses? The latter is correct as a local breeder keeps some very small Shetlands [and some normal sized llamas].

Back Lane, Topcliffe
Back Lane joins Long Street with the road to Busby Stoop and probably marks the end of former 'toft and croft' lands, where the original dwellings along what is now Front Street would have had long strips of land to the rear where small amounts of food could be grown or a few animals kept.

Flood conditions at the Sheepwash
A very similar scene to one I photographed in March 2019. Comparing the two photos, I think the water is marginally higher on this occasion.

Even higher at the Sheepwash
This appears to be a popular subject for me as there are several pictures on the website of high water at this point. However, this one shows the water level even higher than on previous occasions, such as on November 3rd 2020 and 17th March 2019.
