Bee boles in Dowker Lane Car Park
-
Description
"Bee boles are alcoves in a wall where straw bee skeps were placed for protection against the elements. The examples here were originally in a garden, and the ground level may have been raised when the car park was surfaced. They probably each had a shelf inside (see entry in the Bee Boles Register created by the International Bee Research Association http://ibra.beeboles.org.uk/search_detail.php?beeboleIBRARegNo=0670 ). This wall with bee boles, probably dating from the early 19th century, is Grade II listed - see Images of England http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=75527 . Tanners Yard is behind the wall." Photo by Rose and Trev Clough, 2016. -
