Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk
On my way home from work I called in at my local [Nelson,Lord Nelson] now known as The Wooldale Arms..The topic of a certain man came to light, a Mr.Harold Hinchcliffe fromt' cliff..This guy used to work at Hepworth Iron Company where they made clay pipes.Having once taken the pipes fromt' kiln they used to stack em' ready for selling..Apparently the G.P.O. in its hey day used to buy pipes direct fromt' company..Apparantley they occasionally found dead frozen rabbits'inside the pipes..Mr.Harold Hinchcliffe in his wisdom used to thaw out the rabbits on the manifold of a truck and sell em' as fresh to the guy fromt' G.P.O.....I had to laugh...............So when your at Sands camping please leave the rabbits alone
