SD7623 : The site of Priestentax Farm
taken 17 years ago, near to Haslingden Grane, Lancashire, England
The site of Priestentax Farm
The site of Priestentax Farm. These two lonely trees and a few discarded stones mark the site of Priestentax Farm. Priestentax means 'Priests Intake' indicating that a priest or a man called Priest took this land in from the moor and settled here probably in the 17th century. Two old roads cross here, the one going from right to left in the picture is the old 1620's intake road enclosing lands newly taken in from the moor and the one going from bottom to top of the photograph is the old road to Oswaldtwistle
