Okay, so I've been a little bit disingenuous with the title - if you've come expecting a collection of stories, you're in the wrong place. However, if you want to look at some quirky folk traditions, then this is certainly the place for you.

Boroughbridge is a small town and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is situated approximately 16 miles north-west from the county town of York. Until its road bypass was built, the town lay on the main A1 road from London to Edinburgh. The A1 crosses the River Ure here. The civil parish includes the villages of Aldborough and Minskip.
The origin of the name Boroughbridge lies in its location relative to Aldborough, the principal settlement during the Roman period and known as Isurium Brigantum. Dere Street, the Roman road heading north from York, originally crossed the River Ure just north of Aldborough, but at an unknown date the road was diverted to cross the river at Boroughbridge.
A line of three menhirs, or standing stones, known as the Devil's Arrows, believed to have been erected in the Bronze Age, can be found on the outskirts of Boroughbridge, by the side of the A1. The tallest stone is 22 feet (6.7 m) tall. The stones are of millstone grit, probably quarried from Plompton, the closest source of this material. The stones stand on an almost north–south alignment, with the central stone slightly offset. The first reference to the stones is from the journal of a fisherman, Peter Frankck who visited Boroughbridge in 1694, and claims he saw seven stones. The antiquarian John Leyland saw four stones, which is the verifiable number. The absent fourth stone stood close to the central stone and was dug out and broken up, allegedly by treasure hunters. Most of it was used to build a bridge in Boroughbridge called Peg Bridge, which crosses the River Tutt as it enters the town. According to tradition the top of the fourth stone was to be found in the grounds of Aldborough Hall, which stands between Boroughbridge and Aldborough.
Boroughbridge was not mentioned in the Domesday Book, but was later described as part of the manor of Aldborough. In 1229 Boroughbridge, as part of the manor of Aldborough, was granted to Hubert de Burgh, but was forfeited a few years later by his son who fought against the king at the Battle of Evesham.
From medieval times Boroughbridge was part of the parish of Aldborough in the West Riding of Yorkshire. In 1553 it became a parliamentary borough, electing two Members of Parliament to the unreformed House of Commons. Boroughbridge became a separate civil parish in 1866. In 1938 the civil parish absorbed the parishes of Aldborough and Minskip.

The ruins of Quarry Cottages in Hoghton Bottoms, Lancashire
Mr H and the girls stumble on and explore the ruins of a pair of abandoned stone cottages hidden in the undergrowth at Hoghton Bottoms in Lancashire.
On returning home I later learned online that these cottages were actually called 'Quarry Cottages' and date from about the late 18th to mid 19th century. Apparently they were once part of 'Tower Quarry' that was located just on the other side of the railway line close to the Hoghton Tower estate that was once owned by the de Hoghton family.
In 2005 Chorley Borough Council dismissed an appeal for planning permission from the current owners of Quarry Cottages to reinstate them back into residential use again.
