suggestions to the building’s former uses include a shepherd’s hut, explosive store or even a lodge or shelter for victorian shooting parties. it is believed to have been built between 1857 and 1889 possibly by workers from greenfield mill (now fletchers) for one-time owner bramley bottomley. bramley and wife sarah are buried at st chad’s church, uppermill. alternatively, it has been suggested tragic mp james platt, who was killed in a shooting accident at ashway gap in 1857, or cotton manufacturer abel buckley mp jp, who bought the estate and moor around 1880, had the hut built.
