Higher Hempshaws (ruin)
The ruins of Higher Hempshaw’s Farm above Anglezarke.
A familiar landmark to local hikers, with its distinctive double-windows in a wall that remains upstanding. Looking ‘in to’ the farm from outside you can now spot Winter Hill summit and Noon Hill, through the windows.
Derelict before the mid-20th Century.
