If it's the same one , Margaret , I can remember going there once when I was about 8 .
My grandma's sister lived in one of those little cottages in Stanhill village , set back from the road , just before you get to what was the pickle factory .
It was a lovely sunny day , and she took us across the road , down a path where we came to this lodge . I can remember people diving from a high rocky ledge into the water .
It was great fun to watch .
