Is it to keep animals in or humans out? It must be nasty stuff to handle and presumably would cost more than plain wire. If it was to keep humans out this example was a feeble attempt. It was so easy just to crawl under, even for me!Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-73492922936934533452021-10-08T18:11:56.688+01:002021-10-08T18:11:56.688+01:00Is there some conspiracy to isolate trig points wi...Is there some conspiracy to isolate trig points with barbed wire fences?<br />I don't ever remember this occurring in the past.

Take 3...<br /><br />I'd love to see the minutes of the Wilpshire Parish Council meeting when it was decided that the newly restored trig point (i.e. a robust concrete structure in its own right) needed the protection of a fence. It seems such a bizarre thing to do that the hypothesis that the fence is to keep trig baggers away from their objective starts to look plausible (insert tongue in cheek emoji here).

Over several generations it was the home of the Boultons and the Parkers who may have acquired it via marriage. In the 18th century it was owned by the Winders and John Winder repaired the building and left his initials dated 1735 on it. Later the property passed to George Nicholas Starkie of Huntroyde who restored and enlarged the property as an occasional residence and for the use of one of his sons who unfortunately died. During the 1950’s/60’s it was the residence of Albert Higham (cotton manufacturer) who developed the gardens and introduced electric lighting. Before the Highams it was occupied by a former Salesbury curate called A. Robinson followed by Mr. and Mrs. Stones and then Mr. and Mrs. Cayley. Mrs. Cayley was the daughter of Sir William Coddington (cotton manufacturer and Blackburn M.P.) Lovely Hall was always a working pastoral farm and could originally have been one of the Salesbury Hall Estates farms. On its lawn could be seen an interesting 17th century sun-dial and today the hall standing off Lovely Hall Lane is a private residence and still has a working farm with farm outbuildings. At one time was the home of the Salesbury family.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-89779606543110623362021-10-02T16:06:15.527+01:002021-10-02T16:06:15.527+01:00Sorry I missed that one.Sorry I missed that one.bowlandclimberhttp://bowlandclimber.comnoreply@blogger.com
