More about this scene
The Fisherman`s Inn (the white building on the right) is the lake`s oldest inn. It has outlived the pleasure grounds `brilliantly illuminated by gas`, the photographic studios producing miniatures for lockets and brooches, the wedding breakfasts, and the steam roundabout with horses which were totally natural-looking and undecorated.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
As a young girl in the mid fifties I have fond memories of walking around Hollingworth Lake. Having stories of ghosts living under the lake, the walk seemed never ending, frightnening at times if I lost track of my parents, but beautiful! A child's imagination of a hand rising up from the deeps in the middle of the lake, made unbearable by an older brother, disappeared as I walked amongst spring flowers to the sounds of starlings and magpies.
My grandmother Emma Fielding was born at the Fisherman's Inn in 1893. Her mother lived at Antioch Cottages further along the road so I can only presume that her mother Martha Ann Wild was related to the landlord at that time, also called Wild, and she went into labour whilst she was visiting!
