West End ruins, Thruscross Reservoir.

---

Low water level at Thruscross Reservoir. When the reservoir was first filled it took away a village. This sunken village, West End was a small community that had thrived during the nineteenth century when the textile industry was in it's heyday. It had a Post Office, a Methodist Chapel, Textile Mills and a warehouse. The village was happy before the new reservoir took its soul once and for all. When the reservoir is low you can still make out the layout of the village.
