Last of the year, and the last of Notebook 1's 2011 pages. Left boot, black, in the ginnel off Hoyle House Fold, Linthwaite.
A ginnel find is a different sort of find to a moor find — closer quarters — but the notebook treats them the same, and rightly. Eight days before Christmas. No conditions noted, no photograph listed. I remember it being dark early, but you don't need a notebook to tell you that about the 17th of December.
Written up August 2026, from the notebook.
