We haven’t set up a website yet, but when we do I think it would be a good to show the banner No luck with the old photos search yet - still keeping our fingers crossed |

It also transpires just before the property became derelict it was used as a museum; my in-laws have spoken to the curator, who again has imparted special memories. Midge Hall Falling Foss is truly a remarkable place and we would love to hear from anyone who has special memories and especially photographs.Building work is progressing nicely and we hope to be in for early July. |

(They all fight to beat me to it, but this time they have failed miserably). This is a great site John, plenty going on in the forum so join in when you can....mind you you it won't take you long to realise that they are nuts! Some are even ugly, take that Peter for example, but don't tell him I said so!! |

Never-the-less, WELCOME Jack! I am very excited about your venture. How exciting to be bringing an old treasure "back to life". Sue is right, the place looks idyllic. I hope that the next time I visit England your tea room will be open for visitors! By the way, any man who refers to his wife as "my lovely wife" has scored tons of brownie points with every woman who hears it! Ron Brind could take a page or two from your book about how to treat HIS lovely wife. LOL!
