I did wonder if it was this building, you can see it closer up in the previous images. My memory of the area is very poor, is that building Brook House? Good find unrecordings and Edmund it is great to find connections to names on these old postcards. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/R-L-Postcard-Fulwood-and-Forge-Dam-Sheffield-landscape/142778535115?hash=item213e438ccb:g:IWEAAOSw46ha3w1t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi unrecordings, it is trees. There is clump in the Top Park, behind the old farm, and some huge ones at the top of the lane going down to the Forge, as well as some on the edge on the way down.
