Weird place, makes you wonder how many human bodies are in there as well.
Wonder if the police thought of this place when they was looking for that man who was murdered.

I remember a man committed suicide there in the early seventies by jumping off the cliff. Only a short time after a man was killed climbing on the nearby electricity pylon.:(

Re: Kemp Delph

I used to go up when I was younger. You were great if you had the nerve to jump off "top rock". We heard all sorts of stories about it. Like it was bottomless and that there was a bus under the water, and cars, motorbikes even people that they'd never found. All silly when I think about it now though. Lol!

I know, that's when we were underprivileged as children.:mad: :D

When we moved my Dad had an indoor one built.:) :D

There's actually quite a few pools in Ossy. Well three I know of, and all safer than jumpin' in Kemp Delph.:D

Never heard of that.:confused:

Behind the Cocker's lodges, towards Duckworth Hall, there was a bright orange lodge, which looked like sandy sludge, and that was thick enough to run across if you were quick, and before you sank.:D

Was that it?
