Hi All,
A few days ago I came across some tub rails which are made of Oak these were extracted from Faggergill mines in Arkengarthdale North Yorks.They have been dated around the 17century. The rails are very short (bits missing) has anyone ideas to their length when new? and second question is, who made them and from where. These were not local (not enough Oak trees) in Swaledale, Arkengarthdale or Wensleydale even in that time.
Regards
Barry
