"Gamalia (normally
called either "Gam" or "Mally") Hanson is stood in
the doorway of the joiners shop. He was brought up at Bridge House. He
later went to farm at Raingill." (A. Walmsley)
The Joiner and
Wheelwright's Workshop run by John Swale was situated behind the
"New Inn" / "Traveller's Rest". This was the first
building, complete with its machinery, to be purchased by the Fylde
Water Board in 1915-16.
"When
the reservoir is down there is a concrete block comes up out of the
water. It’s not quite as big as a kitchen table. When you start to go
on the side of the reservoir leaving the old churchyard, just over the
fence, it’s just down there. That is the block that the gas engine was
bolted to at the workshop. They had a lot of work sharpening the picks
for the men on the reservoir works." (L. Blackwell)
