Well, that discounts the need for wellies then, Jenny.

Yes, i've seen the Red River dwindle to a trickle at times..... but never completely dry up. The presently increasing hot weather has a lot to answer for.

Where you go down the field from the end of Glew Lane and over the stile at the bottom, then turn left up the small steep rise and over that stile, immediately to the left, at about a hundred yards or so distance, was a small swamp in a hollow.
This dried out completely and very suddenly in the 1950s (in one year).
The reason stated was, that it had drained down into some old colliery workings. Whatever, it never appeared, or reformed again.
