At Hutton-le-Hole, I know it’s a quite a way from East Cleveland but we do have some lovely postcards of the North Yorkshire Moors and this is not as you would see Hutton-le-Hole today.

Ralphs Cross

 Ralphs Cross

A well known landmark on the North Yorkshire Moors. Many years ago if you passed this you would put a penny on the top for the travellers or tramps to take as they went past. I think this and other crosses on the moors were errected as markers for the monks as they travelled the moor from abbey to abbey. I know you will tell me if I am wrong :-)

Where Is It?

Well here I am once again asking for help, do you know this terrace of houses and where they are? Could it be East Crescent?

David Richardson tells us:-

These are the houses at the end of East Crescent, the structure on the hillside behind them is a Nursery.

Thank you for that confirmation of where these houses are :-) Hurray I was right for once.
