Allen Kirkbride Townhead Farm, Askrigg
Allen Kirkbride Townhead Farm, Askrigg Allen Kirkbride is the third generation of his family to farm at Townhead. ‘My Grandfather took the farm in the late 1800’s, early 1900’s. He bought cattle throughout the Dales. My Father followed on, he did a little bit of dealing and carried on the farming.’ Allen stepped into the role and continued the dairy business. ‘I’m 68 and we’ve always done it! I was brought up with it, so it came as second nature.’ In his time, he made some changes, including the introduction of pasteurisation on the farm and an expansion of the milk delivery business beyond Askrigg, first to Bainbridge, and eventually supplying every small shop in Wensleydale and Swaledale. In mid 2017, just a month before this interview took place, Allen stopped delivering milk to doorsteps. ‘It was just too much for my son to take on, and carry on. You need family staff really, so we’ve retired from that and we now send our milk to the Creamery at Hawes to make the famous Wensleydale Cheese.’ The milk comes from the herd of Fresian/Holstein dairy cows that graze in fields around the farm for part of the year, and spend the wetter, colder months, in the farm’s sheds. ‘We’ve got a hundred head of cattle at the moment but a lot of them are young ones, heifers. We’re milking about fifty. As he always has done, Allen continues to milk twice a day, every day, beginning at around 5.30 in the morning. -

There is no legal right of way for bicycles across the old mine workings above Yarnbury to Bycliffe and this revision avoids this area entirely. The revised route takes the quiet tarmac lane from the heart of Grassington, following the eastern side of the River Wharfe, to the pleasant village of Conistone, where the original route is regained. There is a right of way (Scot Gate Lane) that climbs long and steeply up to Bycliffe from just outside Conistone. It would involve descending the same way you climbed, but the descent (part of the original route) is a fun undertaking. Overview A pleasant ride up the eastern side of the River Wharfe from Grassington to the vil- lage of Conistone. The route crosses the River Wharfe and heads to Kilnsey before climbing out of the dale. A long grassy climb over sheep pasture is followed by fun bridleways and then a good rocky descent towards Threshfield. Quiet roads and easy bridleways are then linked together for the return leg to Grassington.

July 2019 at 7.00Pm
Minutes of a meeting of Leyburn Town Council held in the Oak Room, Thornborough Hall on Monday, 15th July 2019 at 7.00pm PRESENT: Cllr Alderson Cllr Beswick Cllr Holder Cllr Medley Cllr Sanderson Cllr Waites Cllr Walker IN ATTENDANCE: Cllr Sedgwick Mrs C Smith- Clerk Ms Rebecca Hurst- Deputy Clerk Representatives from the Police and Hambleton & Richmondshire Fire Service Four members of the public 4229. PUBLIC REPRESENTATIONS Residents raised concerns over the increase in dog fouling in the Rowan Court area and expressed dissatisfaction with the standard of the verges cutting. Cllr Sedgewick reported back to the Council on a meeting attended with the highways improvement manager to discuss the safety of Moor rd. Highways responded to the following four proposed solutions to improve pedestrian safety; 1. A painted footway on the road –May give false sense of security to pedestrians. 2. Waiting restrictions painted on the carriageway-This would prevent parking on the road, however the highways consider that the parked cars act as traffic calming and slow the traffic down. 3. A pedestrian activated sign 4. Creating a priority over oncoming vehicles- This may cause congestion of traffic backing up the road. Cllr Sedgewick concluded by informing the Council that the highways do not consider Moor Road safety as a high priority, therefore no further steps will be taken at the moment due to financial restrictions. Cllr Sedgewick also updated the council that Metcalfe farms have installed signage at the end of their road instructing traffic to turn right to try to reduce the traffic on Moor Road.
