Shop Fold (ruin)

The ruins of Shop Fold that stand near some modern agricultural buildings on the site of the rest of the old farm. I’m not sure when Shop Fold became derelict but the ruins we see today where still standing in the 1960’s while the area occupied by the modern buildings had already been flattened a few years earlier.

Not much to explore but the Shop Fold ruins look pretty good.
