Hi Brian and All,

 

Here are some pics I snapped in Nov 2011 of the pathway to 'cookies field' at the side of a house on Earl Marshall Road opposite the top of Upwell Hill which was known as Stoney Hill.

I understand that Ernest Adsetts once lived in the house.

Hi Peter, Like the picture but just can't re-call them steps.

Hi Brian,

 

I sometimes went up the pathway as a child and seem to remember walking up steps but don't recall exactly how they looked. I've presumed that it's left my memory now as the stonework looks as though it's always been there. The last time I had a look, less than a year ago, the path was very muddy and difficult to access.

Yes, my internet is up and running. My computer could do with renewing though as takes forever to sort things

Hi Peter & Brian I remember my mum telling me when I was little that those steps & pathway led into the quarry, my mum was born on Upwell Hill, I seem to remember her telling me a child was killed playing up there when she was a little girl and she would have been 100yrs old. I remember when I was little we use to go up those steps to get on to Cookies field. Jean J

Hi Jean,

 

It's interesting that the steps led into the quarry. Possibly all the sandstone stonework on the steps came from the quarry. Also I would think the pathway was there long before the houses on my photos.

Can't believe them steps have stood the test of time for so long walked up em in 70's every day to feed racing pigeons most people kept them on field lofts all facing east !

The pathway and steps looked remarkably fresh when I took the photos. At the time I felt that they may had been recently treated to some TLC.
