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.

Topcliffe, 18 Long Street
This property is on the north side of Long Street in Topcliffe village. According to early OS maps there should be a benchmark on this front facing wall, to the right. There was nothing to see and conclude that the mark is likely destroyed.

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].

Front Street Topcliffe
The house nearest the camera was once the Golden Lion Inn and is early 18th century with side sliding ['Yorkshire light'] sash windows on the ground floor. The steep pitch of its pantiled roof suggests that it may once have been thatched.

The Toll Booth
This unassuming little building is the oldest in the village and dates back to the medieval period, being part of the manor of Topcliffe. Here, the lord of the manor collected market tolls and held the court leat, which was a criminal court dealing with petty crimes such as breaches of the peace, adultery, eavesdropping and scolds, whilst it also oversaw the regulation of bread and ale.

Hall Farm, Topcliffe
Hall Farm is the name given to this substantial mid 18th century house on Front Street in Topcliffe, but it is a farmhouse no longer, having long since lost its farm buildings and land. Where there were once paddocks there is now a small housing estate.

Topcliffe village hall
Village hall in the centre of the village. I wonder if there are any casualties inside left over from the Burns Night supper?

The Elm Gallery, Topcliffe
Previously photographed by me in 2009, the building in the foreground, once the village post office, is now a small art gallery and shop.
