Waterfall Pinfold Restoration

The Waterhouses Parish Action Plan (of which Waterfall is part) identified at a 'Wish List' event in July 2000 the objective of: "Maintenance of the Pinfold/Historic sites".

Through the plan the Waterhouses Action group were able to identify this as one of their key projects. A proposal was drawn up to undertake restoration of the pinfold, which had deteriorated over recent years, to its former condition.

By applying for Objective 2 funding from the Peak District National Park Authority, the Waterhouses Action Group claimed a 100% grant of almost £400 to restore the entrance and flooring in late 2003.

The Action Group gained further funding for the complete restoration through the Rural Regeneration North East Staffordshire Village Agent programme.
