Former Fountain pub, Manchester Road A62, Milnsbridge, Linthwaite
I have been informed that this was the Fountain pub until it was closed in 1937. The house on the left is the Bar House (former turnpike toll house).

Former toll-house, Manchester Road, Milnsbridge, Linthwaite
This was a toll-house on the new turnpike road from Crosland Moor Bottom to Marsden, which opened in August 1832. The house was probably built around that date. Its position is such as to catch traffic coming down Pinfold Lane from the Lockwood direction. It has a blank stone tablet over the door. The house was derelict in 1991, but has thankfully been restored.

Lower millpond, off Manchester Road, Milnsbridge, Linthwaite
This is the older of the two millponds, and is on the 1850 6in map. It might have been used by the Spring Mill Brewery, although one would hope that they made beer from water taken directly from the spring! On the left is an elevated pipe, possibly a sewer draining the backs of the terrace houses.

Well, Manchester Road A62, Milnsbridge, Linthwaite
Near to the junction with Park Road West. Probably the water supply for surrounding houses before mains water was provided.

Upper millpond, off, Manchester Road, Milnsbridge, Linthwaite
Probably just used for fishing nowadays. I suppose the water, which enters from a pipe at top left, must be from springs as the hillside above is very steep with no sign of a valley. The channel in the foreground leads down to the lower pond.

"Holy Well", Crosland Moor
See http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/5561/crosland_moor_holy_well.html.
This circular well, quite shallow, is as described at the end of the above article by 'Kozmik_Ken', in The Modern Antiquarian. However I suspect that the 'wishing well' that he knew as a boy might be elsewhere on the hillside.
