Woodnook water passes this point in a man made channel it even has cobbles as its base, and a channel has been made from Woodnook water to the lodge with the sluice gate as a control for water levels.

Before HBC took over that building at the bottom of Ormerod St, which the upper floor became Bullough's Drawing office, it was refered to as Bullough's Lodge, but Bullough's didn't own it. The fact that some clown from the clown hall, has put an information board up with the name Platts Lodge on it, doesn't make it Platts Lodge. Platts had nowt do do with that body of water, we didn't even use any of that water when Bullough's had the big fire in the drawing office in Fountain St.
