| Record Description | Photographed on a very cold winter's day day on 03 February 2012, one wonders how any one could feed a cow here let alone a family. But indeed several families lived here, as farmers and miners they would have made best use of their small holdings. For links to the The 1841 census, see: http://www.gunnerside.info/ |
