NT9728 : Valley north-east of Humbleton Hill
taken 15 years ago, near to Humbleton, Northumberland, England
Valley north-east of Humbleton Hill
This boggy, shallow valley is part of the source of the water channel for the Humbleton millpond visible in the distance
NT9728 : Small dam above Humbleton. The water was led from the upper parts of a stream on the north-west side of Humbleton Hill, above Harehope Plantation. The 1860s OS map shows that the water visible in this photograph was the original millpond which supplied a watermill situated to the west of the village. A second millpond (seasonally dry in this photograph), this side of the current water body, appears on the 1890s map and has now replaced the original one on current maps.
