Summary edit

Description
English: Stott Hall Farm Sandwiched between the two lanes on the highest stretch of the M62 motorway south of Ripponden is Stott Hall Farm. A popular urban myth is that this is a monument to a farmer's stubbornness but tenant farmer Paul Thorp explained to BBC Manchester in February 2007 that "it was because of the geography of the land. The westbound carriageway’s a lot higher than the eastbound and they couldn’t get the two to sit together that’s why it parts. So it was only geography that saved the place. If they’d have wanted it they’d have taken it." http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/content/articles/2007/02/02/020207_insideout_farmhouse_feature.shtml
