The hamlet could be named Sourhall as the terrace houses in the centre of the view are Sourhall Cottages on Sourhall Road. These were originally Peel Mill, and became an Isolation Hospital in 1874 which lasted until 1949 (see http://www.todmordenandwalsden.co.uk/ ). The white public house building was Sour Hall on the 1848 six-inch map and has been called 'The Sourhall', the Olde Dog and Partridge and currently the Country Friends. There do not seem to have been enough friends, however, as the pub looks very neglected and probably closed. Tower Causeway continues straight forward, unfenced over Lower Moor.
