The tea and scones were excellent and we could sit in the sunny garden looking up to the excavation site and recover from all the excitement and hard graft of the day. During these visits I was drawn to the very interesting leaflet available to guests called “Hobb’s, a little bit of history” written by Ray and Rose Lambe, the present owners. It was illustrated by an intriguing photo of a half-timbered building. Being a keen family historian the whole story whetted my appetite making me want to know more. Time has passed and at last I have had the time to follow all the leads from the Lambe’s leaflet.

It sets out the preferred routes which were identifi ed with HS2 Rail in workshops, refi ned in subsequent fi eld surveys and then discussed further with local authorities. The detailed mapping shows the different traffi c free and on road sections, and includes brief notes and photographs describing points of particular interest along the route. Background to the First Stage In January 2014, the Department for Transport (DfT) commissioned consultants, Royal HaskoningDHV, to carry out a Feasibility Study into creating a series of world class cycling routes from London to Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. The project considers a study area that is generally three miles either side of the planned HS2 Rail alignment, and was conceived as an opportunity to deliver excellent local facilities for communities along the whole length of the proposed railway.
