No telegraph pole or mill wheel these days but fairly sure this is at Watering Hoose, Longhope.

Would this be the auld mill across fae Watering House in Longhope ,think i mind it maybe being used for keeping farm implements in latterly ?

Aye Ann, and Alistair, yir both correct it is the owld barn at Watering Hoose. I dont mind the wheel being there as I believe hid went in a big scrap drive in the early 50s. We took the roof aff some time ago as it wiz in a danger o fallan doon .I pat a flat roof on but the owld North West carpenter took hid aff again!! and untill noo its not been replaced.
