Chellow Dene 1897

My first memory of Chellow Dene reservoir dates back to the mid-sixties. My grandparents Jack and Betty Parkinson lived at Chellow Grange Lodge, just down the road from the reservoir, and when I visited them - my parents and I lived about 20 minutes walk away - they would often take me there. A few weeks ago I visited the area for the first time in 30 years and was pleased to find it almost unchanged, although the fountain has now disappeared!

RE: RE: Happy Memories of my Grandparents

Hi Julia

I have been researching my grandparents who worked for the owners of Chellow Grange (as Domestic staff) and lived in Chellow Grange Lodge back in the early 1900. The family name was Kidd. I have found pictures of the Grange but not of the Lodge and wondered if you could help. Also if you knew who owned the Grange. Anything would be most appreciated!!

Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours sincerely,
Jacqui Bowers

Hi, I'm Shelly, my granma Vera Upton used to take me, my brother and sister there, we would go for picnics too. I think it's an awesome place. I'm trying to find out if there's a group or friends of Chellow Deane? I googled Chellow Deane &andfound this site. I love Chellow Deane and& regually go up 4 long walks its my heaven.im only 28 & have said that when I pass away I want my ashes to be placed there, Bottom Reservoir is my favorite. I'd like to know more, I didn't know there was a fountain there too.
