Hauxwell was living alone at Low Birk Hatt Farm in an isolated area of the North Riding of Yorkshire (now County Durham) when she came to public attention, first in a Yorkshire Post article published on 6 April 1970 entitled "How to be happy on £170 a year"[ and then, in 1973, in an ITV documentary, Too Long a Winter, made by Yorkshire Television and produced by Barry Cockcroft, which chronicled the almost unendurable conditions of farmers in the High Pennines in winter.In January 2008, she was still living in her retirement home in the village of Cotherstone, less than five miles (8 km) from Low Birk Hatt Farm, where the meadows have been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, Hannah's Meadows. A new book, Hannah Hauxwell-80 Years in the Dales (W. R. Mitchell) was published in 2008. theremovalvan.co.uk Man and Van - historygreatest.com
