The Coulson family farmed at Bog House in the early 20th century, the farm and house now long disappeared under the waters of Scaling Dam; along with another farm. Jo Halliwell commented: “This was my fathers family, my dad was born here; not sure who is in the picture. Would love to see more pictures if any available.” Stephen Coulson advises: “We are the very same Coulsons, still in Newby which is where the cattle and everything else was moved to.” Angela Crosthwaite comments: “My relative Robert Featherstone lived here with his family in the late 1700s (I think!).” Whilst John asks: “Any one else got any photographs of the dam being built?”
