Higgar Tor and Carls Wark from Longshaw, postcard published 1927
Description on reverse;
"LONGSHAW LODGE ESTATE Subscriptions are urgently needed to preserve this beautiful area for the National Trust. Cheques should be sent to Mr Samuel Osborn JP, Hon Treasurer, Longshaw Appeal Committee. 84 West Street, Sheffield."
Published in a set to publicise the appeal launched in 1927 to buy this part of the Duke of Rutland's shooting estate for the National Trust. The much larger estate was sold in lots, this part, and more to the north, was bought by Sheffield City Council in 1927. The funds were raised by 1931 and the National Trust has managed it since that date.
Higgar Tor is now spelled Higger Tor and Carls Wark is known as Carl Wark.
Compare this with a modern photograph and you'll note the lack of birch and coniferous woodland, all grown since 1950.
