Memories of the Dam

Long standing residents of Wellow have fond childhood memories of the dam, and some of these are reproduced here;

Barbara   Barratt    (nee   Portsmouth)   recalls   that   when   she   was   a   child,   and   the   Dam   froze   over,   skating   was   only   allowed after the village "bobby" had taken his motor bike on to the ice to make sure that it was safe!
