The Archive could not place these falls and asked: “Can anyone tell us anything about them, please?” Janet Wilson answers our question with: ”Liverton falls are in what we used to call “Shaw’s Banks”. They are about 1/4 mile upstream from Liverton mill. Permission to visit them should be sought from the mill owners, as the falls are on their land. My brother and his friends used to climb the falls (during the summer when there was much less water cascading down them). ” Ann Johnson adds: “We called the road Mill Bank when I lived at Moorsholm. Mr Shaw used to ride his horse and cart up the bank in a zig zag as it was so steep. The road is very narrow now due to the land slides on Liverton side. We used to go that way to school at Loftus.”
