I knew the above guy and his father in the 1960s, they lived on Burnley Lane Huncoat, At Childers Green Farm which at the time overlooked a scenic lake that was stocked with trout; Harry's dad Fred was the bailiff.
The lodge was drained in the 1970s (I think) due to the dam wall becoming unsafe, the area is now a picnic area and nature reserve.
When the link road to the M 65 was built from the double roundabout at the Griffin, Burnley Lane was severed and a high level bridge was built to take the lane over the new duel carriageway.
