Let's call at George Beresford's, up at Cowside, Hen keeping and
making great pigs is his pride; He owns the New House, but he
doesn't there stay, Nothing lives there but a ghost as folks
say.....
Deepdale comes next at the foot of Sty Gill, With Peacock and
Rowland and Ottie and Will, Peacock has fame for the lambs he could
raise, While Ottie's a horse judge that all men can praise.
At Yockenthwaite dwelling with pick and with spade, Old George
for a long time our good roads has made, Beresford John with his
gun he goes out, While Lodge Tom and Anty are somewhere about.
Raisgill's the next stop just over the green, Captain good
bottle can often be seen. Ottiewell's gone over there to reside,
And brought his wife to live by his side.
From The Song of Upper Wharfedale by William Foster (1900).
The WSI series takes its name from the way in which GPS
technology locates you to a spot on the ground. The title also
conveys the notion of fields of knowledge and interest overlapping
that makes us who we are and helps shape the landscape we are
in.
