North Ash Farmhouse - names in lead flashing on roof

North Ash Farmhouse has a valley in the centre of the roof. The valley is accessed via a dormer doorway with lead flashing on each side. In the past people have scored their names into the lead. These pictures were taken in the 1980's. Research into the older names is in progress.
