You picked bilberries when you were young
Around remote Digley and Bilberry Reservoirs
West Riding of Yorkshire where you played
Now your photo sits within the stone wall
On Hoo Wood Farm by the Pennine Moors
Such wild heather beauty was always yours.
Hoo Wood Farm
Digley & Bilberry Reservoir
The Holme Valley, West Yorkshire. Walking the scenic track from the Digley Reservoir car park to the highest view, you pass a ruined farm house in a field. A sycamore tree stands by the crumbled walls. My Great Grandparents (the Tinker family) owned this land before the waterboard compulsory purchased it, creating Digley Reservoir from the original Bilberry Reservoir. Mum always wanted to return to her beloved moors. I placed a photo in a crevice of the wall.
