Walking/Hiking Answers: The old house next to Dovestones Reservoir
Got an answer to the following question?
I am trying to locate any information on the old house that was situated in the trees next to the Dovestone Reservoir - see Walks gm107 gm114 gm126 gm134 gm150 - and as of yet have found nothing whatsoever, I remember seeing it probably back around 30 years ago whilst walking around the lake and being drenched in a heavy storm which made the building look even more creepy.
Alas, it has been knocked down for many years now, but I have always been intrigued with the sight I came across that day, and always wondered what its history was. It certainly looked very old considering the reservoir was only built maybe 50 years ago (unless I am mistaken).
The fact that something so original and looking like it belonged on a 'Hammer Movie Set', is nothing but a memory, and finding nothing about its existence let alone its history has always left many questions unanswered.
I would truly be grateful if anyone can shed any light on this matter.
Thanks.
Alex Doyle, Ashton
