I always thought that you hay and straw hauliers out 'ot Dales were “nine rounds high” men ■■ Unless this was a “short” load for Lock Bank !!!Dennis.
Hi Dennis,
We never loaded 9 high of hay, due to weight. Those who did , often ended up with an ungracious lean. 
This load was probably straight off the field , as there appears to be leaves on the trees in the background.
The photograph was taken close to the ( old ) Westmorland side of Middleton Bridge , the boundary of West Riding of
Yorkshire and Westmorland, on the A 683.
As for Lockbank delivery, I can only remember taking1 or 2 loads in all our years .
Cheers, cattle wagon man.
