Not farming, but railways crop up on here quite often.
The above film shows lots of history & the fields are in the back ground.
I remember as a boy sleeping over at Grandma's house, counting the coal trains going to Manchester all night long. Its all ripped up now & a busy footpath, The Trans pennine trail. It was interesting to me hearing when the line was built 1840, because it dates the drystone walls which border the ex railway line. They look as if they were built 5 years ago, apart from where self set trees are pushing the walls down. I've been threatned with 25K fine if I cut any more down.
