National Register of Pounds and Pinfolds
This is the Pounds and Pinfolds National Register set up to record and encourage the knowledge and preservation of these structures in our landscape.
The locations listed have been identified from maps, archive records and by being observant when travelling around our towns, villages and cities. Minimal information is currently recorded and so I am seeking to expand on this with any information that I recieve from you, the reader, Please send me any information using the email address on the Home Page. Thank you.
Yorkshire Pounds and Pinfolds: My aim this summer is to visit and record all the references found to Pounds and Pinfolds in Yorkshire! With over 90 on my list any help with finding them, photographs or historical background would be very helpful. Please get in touch if you can help me. I do anticipate some wonderful days out in Yorkshire (God's own County!) away from the crowds in the Lake District. Please contact me on nigelmillspp@gmail.com
Thank you.
