These two pictures show Long Barlands, at
the Northern end of Lower Froyle, just beyond Rockhouse Farm. Long Barlands
is the cottage nearest the camera on the left. Beyond are Rose Cottages
and Rock Cottage. The left hand picture was taken, we believe, in the
1920s - the modern picture was taken in early December 1998.
Few changes have taken place to the cottages
over the years:-
There are also few changes to the surroundings.
