    There are mines in Hollyford and it was said long ago that there was gold hidden there.

    There are mines in Hollyford and it was said long ago that there was gold hidden there. One night a very poor man was passing through a stile and a man told him where the gold was hidden. He told the man to come at a certain hour and they would dig for the gold. He went and met the man and they dug for the gold and found two big pots of it. That man is the richest man in Hollyford now
