Doorway To Nowhere!

A Robert Parker built a dwelling which he called New House on the Red Spa Moor, south-east of Coldwell Inn Near Trawden and visible from it. All but the doorway of this dwelling was demolished in the 1920s. Today twin columns of black masonry stand out against the backdrop of the moor. On the lintel across the columns is carved the legend: Robert Parker and Jane his wife, May 2nd 1672. Robert Parker was a relation of the Parkers of Browsholme Hall near Clitheroe. A track from the road to Thursden leads across the moor to the ruin.

Ted and me were going to go and take a blip at the doorway today as this photo which is in a photo exhibition at the Ace Centre in Nelson but I am still not up to walking across the moors to it. Maybe when I am feeling 100%.
