Taken during 1850's by Alice HURT, from
a vantage point on the bridge. The group of people are believed
to be Albert Frederic HURT (1835-1907) and some of his family.
The building which can be seen through the trees to the left
of the Lodge is an old corn Mill. This is no longer visible from this
vantage point due to the growth of the woodland. The property on the skyline
above the Lodge is Hankin Farm.
Posted 1904.
