My brother and I investigate rural sites most Fridays and have been doing so for many years. I also collect old bottles and am constantly looking for Victorian rubbish tips.Until I came here my images went to Geograph website and I never retained original copies.I kept these though as I also collect old postcards . In this case it was good to match the original postcard with the ruin.As in most cases of these remote rural dwellings so little is left now.
C 1908 postcard of Woodman's Cottage.
c 1900 OS Map.
Pretty much the standard map together with modern maps and Google Earth that we use to plan walks.
Sad to think that within what is now a pile of rubble. People eked out a living , were born and sometimes died.
