Site of Ouzel Hall on Winter Hill by munki-boy
Ouzel Hall (site of)
Ouzel Hall was a dwelling, presumably a farm, just on the moorland line, south of the Hole Bottom area on Winter Hill.
A water spout is shown on early maps next to Ouzel Hall that seems to have been in use by miners from Hole Bottom, in the years after site became derelict. There is also a well close by that is not shown on the earliest OS maps but is on the later. Today the well is covered by a brick structure and is possibly part of the water supply for some farms lower down the valley, along with a number of documented boreholes.
Ouzel Hall went derelict in the latter-half of the 19th Century.
