| hearsay:- |
The gate to the fell has an inscription:- |
|
| "Gederen thi yows up, or laiten t' beeas in, Whaerivva thoo's gan, Whaerivva thoo's bin, Whee-ivva thoo is, owdther thin er else fat - Thoo maut gang awae till thoos shutten this yat!" |
||
| Just now (July 2010) the inscription has been taken away to be repainted and is lying
in the porch of a house. |
