This page will contain a variety of views of Evenwood Gate, Evenwood and Ramshaw, in no particular date or geographical order. It is intended to be a “hotch-potch” of images. Similar to the rest of this site, this page is in progress, more to follow. These photos have been collected over many years, 38 at least. They have been loaned by many people, known that they would be copied for “display” use, too many to remember. Thanks to all.
