I can see the point about the possible cost of removing the pillars. They did bild things to last in those days didn't they?

I know the answer to this next thought of mine will be on the lines of health and safety and people drowning etc but we seem to have lost old lodges which existed before my time and even ones which I remember and yet water can be very attractive. I wonder if there is anywhere where preservation orders have been placed on old lodges? The one between Hapton and Huncoat used to look really nice but now it's just a scrubby patch of nothing overlooked by the picnic site/car park.
