chrisp1949 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Does anyone know why troughs were placed in certain locations - apart from obvious one that there had to be a water supply? Or why some troughs were doubles, some had a canopy, or why there were 3 troughs -one particularly large and wide - together on Spout Lane at Stannington?

Chrisp The canopy was to prevent animals drinking and helped in stopping contamination, but would have enabled householders to collect water.

Jane Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 On page 7 of Sid Williamson's Memories of Broomhill Shopping Centre (1988), a 'two-tier horse trough' is described as standing in front of the original South Seas Hotel, 'on the Crookes Road side' with the 'lower part of the trough...intended as a drinking fountain for dogs.' (I think the hotel would have been demolished around the 1960s to make way for the Arndale Shopping Centre). I wonder if there are other instances of two-tier troughs or any images in existence?

Simon M Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 HI all, This is an interesting topic, I think i may have possibly found a missing holy well, in Fulwood. Does anyone else think this could be one? its in the grounds of a very very old house, and just below a spring that used to feed into here, its been a private home for centuries, current owners - or previous owners probably wouldn't have allowed people to wonder around the grounds.... \ There are steps down to a very nicely built, dry laid arch. on the other side of this wall is now a garage, but an amazing stone arch of some age also in the back wall... The mostly recent garage has other elements in the walls that have been re-used from what looks like a religious building of some sort. I've found evidence on a 1840 map that there was indeed once a house built over this spot... is this the missing well of Fulwood? 5 hours ago, Simon M said: HI all, This is an interesting topic, I think i may have possibly found a missing holy well, in Fulwood.

Brilliant photo's, it is indeed an amazing find, though the FULWOOD SPA, was not a Holy Well, it was just supposed to have a constant temperature, and have Health Giving Properties. This is a beautiful structure, though rather ornate and heavy duty. But who knows?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 This is certainly very interesting. Where were the photos taken, Simon? Is this Fulwood Hall or Bennet Grange or another old house/farm up in the Mayfield Valley (or somewhere else!)? In Alan Crutch's Living on the Edge (2018) he explores possible locations for Fulwood's legendary spa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
