Staward - Circa 1905

Cypress Linn or Sypers Lynn, Staward.  The Allen is forced through a narrow gap in the rock, forming a cascade in summer and an area of rapids in winter.

In Scotland and northern England, a Linn is a geographical water feature, a watercourse that has cut through a shelf of hard rock creating a narrow (usually), steep-sided crevice through which it runs.   Linn can also refer to a waterfall or a pool at the foot of a waterfall, with the derivation a confusion of Scots Gaelic linne (pool) and Old English hlynn(torrent).
