Why this spot
crofting township cleared 1850s, resettled 1921 to 1940s
Lewis township of 16 dwellings and 81 people in 1851, empty by 1858 when the tenants took crofts elsewhere. Crofters resettled it in 1921 without road or official support, but only two families remained by 1939 and it was deserted again by the end of the 1940s.View source →
