this is so sweet :)

I doubt they were "pet" lambs, somehow. Lovely photo though.

Cute

wow, love it!

I really like the feel of this photo. Why is the one woman just sitting on the side with her feet in the water? Is she the ferryman's wife? That would make a great title for a novel...

wow nice all of photos. I like black and white photos

I believe that's Hammerton's ferry. The skiff you see in this picture is now on display in the Docklands Museum.

The Crooked House is a colloquial name for the Glynne Arms. A combination of nearby marl hole (clay quarry) and the underlying 30-foot seam of thick coal have led to subsidence contorting the building so great that pin-pong balls appear to roll uphill on the backs of the benches. Thus it has morphed from quarrymen's pub to a destination for dining and a walkers (and riders) drop in. It has a lovely warm fire on a winters day too! (I have no connection with publican or brewery...) . see also www.geograph.org.uk/photo/129423 I remember by granddad always wearing a black "wescut" and sleeves rolled up to the elbow. It was the universal Black Country look until the 1970s!

Thank you for adding this great image to the Memories group. Anyone who is not aware of the Crooked House, this photo is not a trick thje building lists very badly due to subsidence www.flickr.com/photos/blackcountrymuseums/5147712883/in/p...

Looks like an old millstone was used for one of the steps up to the door.

these pair look like they've lost a pound and found an halfpenny
