Voices From The Dales

Our Ingleborough pt.6: Classic Oral History

Andrew Fagg/Dales Countryside Museum Season 1 Episode 14

In Part Six, hear children from nearby Settle Primary School interview their grandparents.  93 year old Edna Thornton, from the village of Austwick to the south of Ingleborough mountain, remembers the days when the milkman delivered milk directly into a jug on her doorstep each morning.   Two granddads from Settle are asked about the changes they have seen in the natural environment.  Meanwhile builder Kevin Woods, who from his home looks at Ingleborough’s peak, reflects on a lifetime of restoring traditional buildings in a way which doesn’t rob birds of their nest sites.  ‘We’ll do owt we can for nature,’ he says.  Presented by Andrew Fagg and Anna Greenwood.
