1. The History
This place was a bit of a hike but on a reasonably sunny March afternoon the time flew by. This place an old water-board house above Redmires Dams, next to Oaking Clough Reservoir. It’s a fairly substantial two-roomed building which still retains the remnants of a range on both sides. A small stone set into the ground confirms that the building was associated with SWW (Sheffield Water Works).

2. The Explore
Not really an explore really but more of a ramble. Didn’t bother posting at the time but with no new explores thought I’d post it up. There may not be that much there but the setting is really picturesque and it is abandoned.

3. The Pictures

The Redmires plughole:

Looks like a nice ramble. I like the little arched shaped stones on top of the chimney. Pretty little stone cottage. Wonder how old that is.:thumb
