Aislaby Side = an unusual wall.


This wall is quite unique, at least in North Yorkshire. The builder has placed many  of the stones on their edges or narrowest side.  Some people call them 'shiners'.  

Its quite an old wall and is built below the well know Aislaby quarries which supplied the stone for Whitby Abbey and London Bridge amongst other places.
