Re: Priestly Clough
Yes it is Woodnook Water...or at least that is what we always knew it as.
As for those pipes going across the beck...they were there when I was a child(there were three sections of the beck crossed by wide pipes)........though they did not have the metal 'frill' on them to prevent you from walking along the pipe . I know this because my brother was once showing off.......walking along the pipe like a tightrope walker.......pride comes before a fall...and fall off he did, into the water.......got his school blazer soaked and his bum tanned when we got back home to Riley's Hill.
My memories are from the late fifties(57/58)
