Dent was formerly in the West Riding of Yorkshire and is now in Cumbria. It is the only village in Dent Dale and is famed for its cobbled narrow streets. This was a fine evening after a fine sunny day. For more about Dent see Link
These limestone river-bed slabs were once used by the clothmakers of Dent to cleanse their wool and knitted products. Robert Southey wrote about the 'terrible knitters of Dent', in the sense of how fearfully fast they knitted! See http://www.daelnet.co.uk/features/knitting/history4.htm
