The Archive believed this to be possibly in the Esk Valley, but welcomed further details. Did you know the ploughman? William Castle has told us: ”In Gordon Clitheroe’s book ‘Ryedale’ he has this picture as Edgar Dowson ploughing near Hutton-le -Hole, probably just before the II World War. The Beck Isle Museum in Pickering (where Mr Clitheroe is Curator) also has this picture, possibly the original. Colin Grice has a further update: ”It is very likely just east of the road between Hutton-le-Hole and Keldholme – looking towards Kirkbymoorside (hidden). The Dowsons lived at Halfway House just up the road.”
