I'm told they used to walk fat geese to market over long distances , and to protect their feet they coated them in pitch . Bit of a senior moment though - I've forgotten for the moment where this was . No doubt someone on here will know . Right opposite our farmyard there is a small open square of land , which we have used " without let or hindrance" certainly for over 50 years , and before us , the last people , but there was an old chap in one of the cottages who assured me that the piece was , quote "Gypsy Land " and thus common land .The old Roman road from Melandra in Glossop comes in at one side and out the other on it's way to what is now Dovestone reservoir , and beyond . He reckoned that drovers used to use the Roman Road droving cattle and would rest them there overnight . True ? I don't know , perhaps somebody does .
