The Silver Chain

In Heaning Gill, a wooded glen close to Thoralby, there is a series of cascades known as the 'Silver Chain', which are extremely charming as they wind their way through rock and wood to the valley below.

Sadly the Silver Chain has lost its charm through neglect and overgrowth. Some very elderly locals still talk about the 'Silver Chain' that they used to walk by when they were children.

If anyone can identify the landlord please could you add a comment at foot of page.
The postmaster walks with a stick and looks quite elderly. Do you know who he was.
