In this series we have taken some of our favourite pictures which may be familiar to you also and set you the challenge if you’re up for it of reproducing them, not as a ‘must do’ to claim a find, just an added interest when looking for the cache. We look forward to looking at your pics which you should simply upload to your log in the normal way. THEN AND NOW. We've uploaded an old pic this time and added 'our take', easy in some cases where surprisingly little has changed - not so easy in others where things have changed quite dramatically - buildings have gone or been replaced, tracks have re-routed and been replaced with roads, trees have obscured the view etc...... We have placed caches near to where the shots were taken so you may as well ‘have a go’ too. Have fun! It is common belief locally that the toll bar cottage was demolished with the demise of the toll roads around 1890 and the subsequent building of the County Hotel – when in fact it still remains to this day! The toll house, which stood on the main road just before Waterhead, formed part of the three storey building which became the County Hotel in 1900 and later the ground floor flat when the building was converted once again. In the 30's it was the County Cafe and then in the 1950's it was turned into flats. It is now a shop on the ground floor with accommodation above.
