Join me on my merry trek of old ruins, cinemas, railways and things that just catch my attention around Yorkshire and the UK. John.
View this post on Instagram Tree from Rock-A-Bye Baby nursery rhyme? Betty Kenny's Tree where Betty (Kate Kenyon) laid her babies in the hollowed out boughs of this ancient yew (2000 years old) where she lived during the 1700s in a shelter built around the trunk whilst she and her husband, Luke, tended to their charcoal burning here in Shining Cliff Woods, Derbyshire. Sadly the tree was badly burnt in the 1930's and the remains several times since. "Rock-a-bye baby, in the tree top When the wind blows, the cradle will rock, When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, And down will come baby, cradle and all" #bettykennytree #shiningcliffwoods #rockabyebaby A post shared by John | Exploration and history (@merrytrek) on Jan 8, 2019 at 5:29pm PST
