The Name Thruscross derives from the name of the Norse God Thor, prior to the reservoir being completed in 1966 almost the whole of the village of West End was demolished, I remember a hiking trip to the deserted village in the early sixties when all the buildings where stood empty with every window and door frame removed prior to demolition.
