A walk around Whiteadder Reservoir...

 


We went a walk around the Whiteadder Reservoir as we have never seen the water level there so low with the lack rainfall...

Built and flooded in the late 1960s the Vally engulfed a school and farm...

Exposed is the remains of Millknowe farm and Kingside school...


Kingside School...





Kingside school...





















The tarmac of the old road is in better condition than some roads in use today!










Old roadside  grit bin...


The Vally before flooding showing Kingside school on the left of picture and Millknowe farm in the centre...



G`s grandmother lived at this farm...


While the building have gone the road still remains...







Couple of items picked up on the walk...



More soon...

    Hello, just stumbled on your blog. May I ask about the photos of the school and of Millknowe? Are they in your personal collection or have you managed to source them from elsewhere?
