That second link now seems to be working. Strange!
I can't contribute anything about the ancient history of Roseberry Topping but I'm certainly interested to hear more. I used to live on Teesside and climbed Roseberry Topping several times, including once to scatter a relative's ashes.
I'm not familiar with 'The Ballad of Roseberry Topping'. Is this an ancient ballad or are something more modern, e.g. as recorded by Vin Garbutt on 'Tossin a Wobbler'?
