Re: Lakes from the past

Thanks Dougie.

My mum said a lot of the land where the Mucklow is built was very boggy when it was farmland but no lake there - she said it got so boggy that the cows couldn't be put out to graze.

I know of two houses on the Mucklow with problems with flooding. One has a pump under the floorboards going 24/7 !! It must cost a fortune in eleci !!
