I believe it starts (or finishes) at Jacob’s Lodge, between Rough Hey and the Bedlam area of Green Haworth (top of Willows Lane) and is called Antley Syke. I’m trying to find the owner of Jacob’s Lodge, which is not recorded at HM Land Registry. There is a bit of a “local dispute” going on, and a neighbouring land owner wants to try and claim it if the owner can’t be found. I’ve contacted Mr. Peter Hargreaves of former Moscow Mill (now Oswaldtwistle Mills) who still has the big sluice key hanging in his office, but he doesn’t know who owns the Lodge. Moscow Mill was originally built by the Walmsleys, who lived at Rough Hey at the time. Jacob’s Lodge was the mill lodge for Moscow Mill and possibly for other factories such as Steiners.
