CTtthcroc 'Advertiser mid Times, Triday. October 4, IVbS Secrets of a hidden hamlet Dale Head From^imc to time over


the past twenty years I have attempted to picture what 1 consider to be interesting features of that unique vale of Hodder we term Dale


Head. I have also during the period


maintained a regular touch with its wild life, all of which adds to my long held belief that this particular area is worthy of any efforts to main­ tain it as a place of great natural beauty of the utmost importance In the preservation and conservation of ou r diminishing wild life.


Danger There arc also several other


Items concerning the long sub­ merged village whioh X find are of great attraction to a host of readers in all sorts of places who have associations of one


kind or another. Quite frankly, the area cast a


spell on me many years ago and at intervals I have found


enormous satisfaction— as a diversion from studying its wild life— In seeking informa­ tion regarding old buildings, and in general, creating a pic­ ture of thoso days when the upper Hodder was a prosperous district with a very active farm­ ing community. Occasionally I have had some


difficulty and have pondered at times over events and places which are in danger of being lost to living memory. Tills certainly applied to a


recent enquiry which began several weeks ago and was con­ cerned with a small com­ munity or hamlet I have known for so long as a ruin. It is situated well away


from the beaten track and is now 60 effeotivly screened and obscured by the Forestry wood­ lands that the observer, new to the area, has little Indica­ tion as to its whereabouts.


This may be revealed by con­


sulting the old Ordnance Sur­ vey map of the upper Hodder on which you will find, just west of a line between Whelp- stone Crags and Tosside, the name— Hesbert Hall.


Now this place has fascina­


ted me for a long time. Pre­ viously before forestation it stood out conspicuously par­ ticularly when aproached from the resevoir via Eggberry, Cocklick House and Green Fold, all of which are now in ruins hidden in a maze of coni­ fers.


ledge and local folk lore regar­ ding Hesbert Hall and its ever Although most of the ham­


let is in ruins it still remains one of the few still tennanied in this massive water-shed and , is occupied by a friend I have known for many years — Mr. Percy Tilbury.


But what of the other ad­


jacent buildings— there are seven in all—which go to form tills out-of-the-way hamlet long since forgotten?


I asked Percy but he couid


offer no full explanation. So, once again, I set to work on my numerous 'contacts’ and friends. Most of my efforts and enquiries were unfruitful.


Surprised Then I met an associate, and


one time resident of Slaidburn —Coun. Harrison. I put the question to him. ‘How could X get some first hand knowledge regarding the history of Hes­ bert Hall?’


From his reaction and reply


X gathered ho was somewhat surprised at my having over*

looked a person I haive known and respected for many years — Coun. Tom Robinson, Fulfilling a long standing in­


vitation I went along to spend the afternoon, gleaning know-


so compact hamlet. Mr. Robinson, you see, was


born in the upper Hodder val­ ley a mUe from Hesbert Hall at Eggberry House— now in ruins. He spent 29 year's at Hes­ bert Hall, where three fami­ lies resided in the hamlet, and farmed the adjacent lands.


At that time the three hou­


ses and four out-buildings for­ med a happy community. So, at la6t, over tea, we chat­


ted and 1 was so glad after weeks of fruitless enquiry that I had found an answer to my problem. Mr. Robinson spoke of events half a century ago when the houses were occupied by the Lamberts, George Carr


' and tlie Harrisons. He told me of the days when


all the people in these parts had nick-names. He went on to


Value As I sought answers to my


questions I thought of one in particular concerning the building which now holds what I consider to be a very valu­ able historical item worthy of care and preservation, particu­


larly to those— and there are many—who value the heritage of Hodder.


This is housed in one of the


stone buildings and is, I think, one of the few to be seen any­ where in this ar any county.


It is the old blacksmith bel­


lows. These I thought were unique but when I heard they originally stood in the old blacksmiths shop in Stocks vil­ lage— now under the water—

that this ground provided some of the best sheep territory in the upper* Hcdder and, as I sat listening to his reflections I suspected a touch of sadness when he filled in the detail of this part of Bowiand over half a century ago.


their value increased one hun­ dred fold.


At the flooding of the valley


the bellows and anvil were brought to Hesbert Hall about 1928 or 1929, and were then used in shoeing and removing of horses shoes. The anvil now being with Mr. Robinson’s bro­ ther at Burton in Iionsdale.


Ruins


many cases of a similar nature, various items are spread out far beyond their place of ori­ gin, often to be lost in the haze of time.


And so I found, as in so Dale Head Is an outstanding


case and we find in this res­ pect that much of the well dressed stone contained in the main ‘Board room’ at the west end of the reservoir was ob­ tained from tire various ruins we now see in the surrounding water shed now gradually be­ ing enveloped in a forest and woodlands.


However, that is progress


which so often (Alliterates things past but of fascinating


interest. All of which applies to my


search for the history of Hes­ bert which, but for the vital link provided by an old friend, would most certainly have pas­ sed or escaped my efforts.
