Thimble-Hall

Thimble Hall, Youlgreave, Derbyshire

Aptly named ‘Thimble Hall’ a minute cottage in the Derbyshire village of Youlgreave.  This style of housing was once common from the mid 1700 thru 1800’s and was know as a ‘Two Up and Two Down’.

With the pressure on the scarcity of affordable housing here in the UK, I do wonder when we will go back to these old ideas….?!

Mind you Vagabonds are not that welcome as the sign from 1824 indicates

Sitting Still

There are some days when you just wish you could sit and think…. plan ahead…. or just ponder….  or just empty ones mind of thoughts.  One of life’s little luxuries.
