In reply to PaulvWest. Good morning Paul. It sounds as if you did find the dilapidated folly. Lucky you to be able to play in the woods at Howsham, and well done Miss Watson for telling you the building’s history.

Not sure if I saw the ruins in the 1970’s
I used to go on holiday to my Grandparents in Howsham.
My cousin and I played soldiers in the woods.
We played around some brick building ruins in the woods not far from a road.
We asked an old lady called Miss Watson who might have been perhaps 80 years old it was hard to tell, folks look older when you are a kid.
She said the ruins were an old Summer House and suggested that they were used when she was young.
Miss Watson might have been born in the late 1890’s

Hi Karen, Loving your folly Flaneuse. Have you recorded the folly on the descent from Roseberry Topping. Not exciting but an enjoyable walk.

Happy New Year and hope your husband’s ankle mended. I know these can take a long time as my husband did same.
