Used to play in the remains of the chimney when I was a kid Rindi, it stood like a fort on the top of a hill:D

The Trout in the Tinker Brook came from the Reservoirs on the moors, in those days Accrington Anglers used to stock the res with trout and some entered the Brook from the run of when they got to full
