SK1678 : Two wrecks; Little Hucklow

taken 12 years ago, near to Little Hucklow, Derbyshire, England

Two wrecks; Little Hucklow
Two wrecks; Little Hucklow
The one nearest the camera has rotten woodwork. It is a Morris Minor Traveller. The wreck of a building is, sadly, a former village pub, called the Bull's Head. It too has rotten woodwork, crumbling roof and stone work and has weeds growing inside the building.
Pevsner's Derbyshire describes the Old Hall, which formed part of the pub as having a date stone of 1661. "Yet the windows are low and mullioned and have hood-moulds ... At the back is a projecting spiral staircase; so the structure of the house is older (than 1661)."
The wood framed estate version of the Morris Minor began production in 1952.
