"Prime real estate, Shaw Dike" oil on board 9x12" (image size - sold as framed), a derelict farmhouse high up in the Pennines not a million miles from Top Withins. Even though we live in the heart of the Dales, there is something eye-catching about the vernacular of another area of the Pennies. Those keen-eyed among you may be able to pick out the triangular owl-hole incorporated into the gable wall, as an encouragement for owls to nest and control the vermin. Over time with changing farming practices and the construction of the reservoirs here, this farmhouse became derelict, leaving behind a fantastic reminder of a past home.
