Old labourers cottage

Cookridge was a big farming community with some rather old and splendid farmhouses. One walk goes past Cookridge CC, and down to the beck where the Bramhope tunnnel starts and then on past the ruins of a Victorian Bleachworks.On the track down is Moseley Farm, stone built in the 1600's (above is Crag farm certainly built earlier as a wood framed building and stone encased in the 1600's.)On that track is a tiny two roomed cottage that now appears on Leodis (pic 115 cookridge) which explains what it was (I thought it was just a storgage shed when I saw it during walks) and goes on to recount that in 1840 a man (farmworker) his wife and seven kids lived in it!!!I always have a thing about the preservation of history always being about the rich, wether their grand houses, their civic buildings, their statues or their graveyard monuments, but this is a nice little monument to the overcrowded, grinding poverty of the normal folk!!Worth a look in person otherwise check the piccy......

Go to the website you want to copy Left click the URL bar, (at the top of the page) so it highlights Right clip,copy Then when you post Right click pasteI don't know how to post pics either Well its a bit of a pickle to post pics when you first try but this is pretty much how it goes.If you are going to post a picture from your computer's hard drive then its a good idea to strategically place the photo so that you can easily find it.This (strategically placing of the photo on your hard drive)is best done before starting the whole mesaage and picture posting process.Placing it in tends to be the easiest as the Secret Leeds Web Dialogue program (more about that later)seem to default straight to "My Pictures" or "My Documents",either moving your file to "My Pictures" or My Documents" or by making a copy of the original file and placing that copy in "My Pictures" or "My Documents"When you have done this,you can start the process of posting the picture.First of all start a message,where you get the red square box where you normally write your text to appear as a message.Write whatever (if anything) you want to say,as normal,then instead of clicking "post", select and click the tick box just below the red text box that says"Add attachment"when this tick box is marked THEN press "Post"You then go to another page which says "Attachments"In the bottom third of this page there is the underlined word "Browse",click the word "Browse"This will then direct you to another page that says"Secret Leeds Web Dialogue"You will notice on this page yet another button saying "Browse"Click on this and it will then access your hard drive.There may well be a problem accessing your hard drive.If nothing happens (after clicking the second Browse buuton)then it is likely that your fire wall is blocking access,if so you will need to allow access.Your firewall may prompt you to do this anyway.So when the Secret Leeds Web Dialogue program does manage to access your hard drive you will then have to navigate towards the picture you want,Place it in "My Pictures" or "My Documents",either moving the file there or by making a copy of the original file and placing that copy in "My Pictures" or "My Documents"When you locate the picture you want then right click on it,the menu that pops up will have a "select" option,choose this(rather than open)Then just follow the instructions.
