Postcard with August 1909 postmark. Looking down the Drive towards the Lodge and Gates.
The Drive, built by Lord Savile in the mid-19th century runs the length of the Crags from the Lodge at Midgehole, past Gibson Mill, to the Savile's shooting lodge at Walshaw Head. The woods were planted at the same time to enhance the drive’s appearance to impress Savile’s shooting guests.

Postcard with August 1907 postmark. John and Emma Greenwood's 'Hardcastle Chalet' tearoom was just a short way up the Drive from Gibson Mill and was one of several refreshment facilities on either side of the valley catering to the thousands of visitors who came to the Crags at holiday times. Today nothing remains of the Chalet and the site is used for timber storage.
