Travel anywhere up Weardale and you will notice remnants of bygone farms scattered here and there. These farms, once occupied by people eking out a living in the harsh landscape, are reminders of the dale's past history. This book takes a fascinating look at the people who lived there, with snippets of information about the individual farms, including some personal anecdotes. Each farm is captured in full colour. Here is a treasure chest of information for everyone to enjoy.
