More about this scene
In Lancashire, man-made stretches of water to serve mills were often called lodges. From the lodge, a channel or 'goit' carried water to the wheel. Berry's Chair Works and at one time Wolfen Mill used this mill pond. Chipping Brook once powered five water mills - one is now a restaurant called the Water Mill. Wolfen Mill made bobbins, then became a cheese factory. By about 1950 it was dilapidated, but it has since been made into a fine house.
