| Google informs us that Colne Corporation bought land around Wycoller in order to build a reservoir. Fortunately, a bore hole provided enough water to meet their needs, so the reservoir was never built. The Pump House was built to maintain a constant supply. |

 |
| The narrow pack horse bridge had deep ruts in the stone. Testimony to the centuries of continuous use. The walls of these bridges were omitted so that the horses with their large packs on either side could cross unimpeded. |
 |
| There were a couple of houses up for sale in the village, for anyone with a couple of bob to spare. |
 |
| The end of a great walk. |
