Really good stuff.

Hello me again ! Had a pal who lived on underbank Ave back in the 80s , always messing around up there , i can remember somewhere near the top of the lane just before the lane splits off think its near the bridge , anyway there was a house up on the hill opposite side of the river which had somesort of cable way zip line set up remember seeing a lady parking her car then loading bags of shopping on the cableway and sending them up the hill ! Then set off on ft to the house . Obviously we didn't wait until the lady was within arms distance of retrieval of said shopping before we hauled it backdown that would have been very mischievous and unfair 😅

Just wondering, where did you got your information about the water keepers cottage, it looks like a really cozy little place and would be nice if someone could save it. I wonder if it’s owned by anyone or could you just go there and start rebuilding it?

I had an ancestor - Henry Halstead who lived at Spa Hole and was an overlooker at the mill in 1851. Did you get to Winters?

Did you find any information of what's been happening with Staups Mill? Is it the land owner worried and making safe or stone thieves? There's been a few derelict farms that have suddenly disappeared from the landscape, most recently one that overlooked Baitings that has now been completely removed.
