Rivington Reservoirs - What lies beneath...
Several hamlets and an inn were all abandoned and drown beneath the waters after construction of the reservoirs was completed, together with a large section of the River Yarrow and apparently some beautiful walking country of which local people were especially fond.
The Middle Brook ran down the valley with a footpath beside and many footbridge crossings and even a coal shaft also submerged.
There are a few local 'urban myths' of church towers and such standing beneath the water to be revealed during times of drought. This is completely unfounded as all the submerged properties where demolished before the valley was flooded.
Images in this section have been created using my developing 3D terrain models of the area.

Lost Stepping Stones near Crosse's Wood
The About Rivington book tells us of a favourite walk of local people that was lost beneath Lower Rivington Reservoir in the area now known as Crosse's Creek, the walk leading down into the valley by Crosse's Wood to cross the stream over some stepping stones.
The location of the stepping stones and associated footpaths can be seen below the water level in the foreground of the image , Coblowe cab be seen just behind where the castle now stands near the water's edge.

The Lost Lady Hall
Lady Hall was submerged close to the West bank of Lower Rivington Reservoir and is enticingly close to the water's edge it seems. Some structure that might have been a pond seems to be above the water line with two buildings and a water trough, probably of the local stone type are beneath the water.
This seems like the most likely location to be revealed by low water levels.
