The Changing Face of Baildon Moor
from prehistoric times to the present day

Gavin Edwards
Gavin writes "After graduating from Bradford University as a field archaeologist and having lived in Baildon for 28 years, Baildon Moor has become a very familiar place. Throughout my career with Bradford Museums I have used the moor in talks and walks to illustrate how a landscape changes over time, from Prehistoric times to the present day. Despite having known it for so long there is still a lot that needs recording, which is what the Riches of the Earth project is attempting to do. This is part of the much larger Watershed Landscapes project run by Pennine Prospects and aims to survey and record all the mining and quarrying that took place there during the 19th century. It is a surprisingly complex story, and the challenges of recording it are proving quite considerable, but it is still just one phase in an even more remarkable story of landscape change and human interaction with it."
