Giant Rombold

Rombold reputedly lived with his wife high on Ilkley Moor which rises 1,319 feet above sea level. To the north, where the moor drops steeply down towards Ben Rhydding, a satellite of the town of Ilkley, are two millstone grit rock climbing areas: Rocky Valley and Ilkley Quarry. The latter is the site of the Cow and Calf, an outcrop and boulder allegedly dropped by the giant Rombold's wife. The quarry has, from 1980 onwards, suffered greatly from rock-falls.

Post Office changed the house numbering system in Exley Head c1900. Before that Wheathead Lane was also Exley Head. Is 84 Exley Head in Hoyle Fold now 108 WHL?
