Noooooooo Mick I know where Dean means, not Mill Hill in Blackburn but Mill Hill woods between Huncoat and Hapton. If you mean the "dip" next to the car park at the Huncoat side before you get to the ford, it used to be a lodge. It was known as Mill Hill Lodge when I lived in Hapton as a child and yes water did run out of it where you describe Dean.

Somewhere I think I have a very old photo of my Uncle leaning on a fence there. I'll have a hunt and see if I can find it. I'm notoriously hopeless at finding things I'm looking for so this could take some time.

Castle Clough and Hapton Castle are in a different location further down towards Padiham.
